I'm not sure if anyone knows this little tidbit of information but could anyone tell me if the Xenomorph changes when in a state of suspended animation?
Ie, Encased in cement, or forced constraints hands,feet and head?
I am wondering about what would happen to the body of the Xenomorph in this state?
I imagine that it would develop further into (just my theory) an Ultra-morph.
There is a concept by Carlos Haunte the artist on the Prometheus/Covenant creature design where he talks about the Neomorph eventually becoming into the Ultramorph through one additional metamorphosis.
A state where eyes start to develop and ....would then " become intelligent and build architecture and art." -Carlos Haunte
it's hard exterior body would start to whiten.
I found Carlos's concept missing a step. How would such a creature develop architecture and art? I thought,well it would have to become human like thus making it possible for it to do what the engineers have done. So i thought,
from the Ultramorph, it's interior toxic acid for blood would become into a base gelatan substance and form another being inside, maybe into a proto-engineer humanoid form and then it's Ultramorph body would shed just like an insect does or how the chestburster becomes an adult.
I would like to see the next Alien film saga or tv series to be about this. To me this is intriguing.
What if colonists capture an Xenomorph by encasing it in concrete. Then little by little they cut the concrete to reveal only one side of the alien and they find it in a state of hibernation and in a n evolutionary state.
Removing an arm however they realize that it grows another arm back.
But the arm the detach starts to become another life-form, moving about and forming some sort of defensive flight mechanism.
They start to do this with every body part, isolating each limb only to find they have grown back and left the removed limb being capable of fighting for itself.
They eventually find the half encased body to have hardened into shedding form and become removable.This is when they find another being within. That being would be an humanoid engineer.
