Except he definitely didn't create the creature from scratch. A form of creature existed long before David got his hands on the accelerant as displayed on the mural in Prometheus. Also, doesn't David say something to the effect of the engineers had their wolf and tried to banish him and now he had created his wolf in the advent short? There is Also, if you look carefully, in David's layer, a painting of the original Alien ovomorph hanging to the left of a painting of his new version of the ovomorph.
I imagine that yes some ancient form of the alien creature born from the Engineer's DNA accelerant mixture was running amok on LV-223. In my opnion anyway.
You've pretty much captured why I find A:C so disappointing. In terms of simple storying telling / answering the big questions, it's such a muddled mess. Answers are possibly hidden in Blu Ray extras, which either (a) clarify or (b) contradict what we've seen before. I find that infuriating. Extras, deleted scenes and virals are all well and good, but they should do no more that supplement the little details. This doesn't feel like a mystery slowly coming into focus; it feels like they changed course completely from one film to the next.

When the Prometheus crew find the dead Engineer bodies, one of them says that it looks as though something exploded out of their chests. So were there Xenomorphs, or similar creatures, already on LV-223 at the time of the accident?
Before Alien: Covenant was released: I would say that's a fair assumption.
After Alien: Covenant was released: Who the hell knows? It seems like the black goo can cause all manner of things to burst forth from within. And, of course, there's the whole "David made the Alien" suff going on.

I think the Engineers either predicted or worshiped something similar to the deacon in the past due to the mural. But David perfected the beast.

The hypersleep chambers are a much more stronger implication though.

Where does it imply xenomorphs?
When David starts up the hologram you hear a roar not to dissimilar to the roar the Deacon makes at the end.
The other sleeping pods within the Juggernaut have holes near the chest area.

- Sep 17, 2017, 11:15:52 AMCould have been Hammerpedes that killed the Engineers for all we know. Where does it imply xenomorphs? All we see in the temple are Hammerpedes, and they are mutated worms native to LV-223.

I think the goo is inert under certain temperature conditions. Once the head was warmed up, the good became active and started mutating the cells. The urn room seems to be a cold storage area for the goo. Once David opened the door the ambient temperature in the room increased and the goo was activated,
I always wondered if the infected Engineers were trying to get to the urn room in order to cool down and deactivate the goo.
I think it does too. Watched it again yesterday. David took it out of refrigeration before he gave it to Holloway, so that makes sense.

I know she tried something with the voltage, but I thought the head exploded because they attempted to freeze it. Like the outside started to freeze and become brittle, but the inside was not frozen yet, and kept mutating/expanding until pop. That was always my theory on the head explosion anyways.
