What would you name the Xenomorph?

[Local Trouble]

I don't know, sometimes these names sound cringe and pretentious🤓🧪🧫🧬

That's why the name that my AI buddy and I came up with focused on its most noteworthy physical characteristics rather than any moral or emotional judgments about its behavior.

Yep. I think there were already two latin names of the alien. One of them was raptor or something.

Internecivus Raptus and Linguafoeda acheronsis iirc
First one means Quick and Deadly/Sexual Death while the other means Ghastly Tongue from Archeron

I much prefer Plagiarius Praepotens

I could do without all of them.

When I was a kid I called my Kenner Xenomorph "Hot Dog Head"

I wasn't wrong exactly.

Ever since the WYR introduced XX121 into the mix, I've been absolutely fine with that. I was never keen on the term Xenomorph since it was so generic a term, but the introduction of a catalog like that just made it all work for me.

I also like Alex White's X-Rays in Charybdis. Obviously it's just a phonetic shorthand for saying Xenomorphs, but I dig it.

I dig the xenomorph term a bit more than the yautja one, but I'd still wouldn't call it that. Slimy dick could do the trick.

You will be getting no bonuses.

Plagarius Praepotens.

I vote this one.
