About the Alien

The Alien, or Xenomorph, is the primary antagonistic species of the Alien franchise that shares the same continuity with the Predator film series. The Alien is a recurring major threat, and while its exact characteristics and appearance change between movies, it remains one of the most dangerous creatures in the known universe.

The Aliens are well known for their parasitic life-cycle. Born from the massive Queen, they start life as a Facehugger that implants an embryo into a host, from which a Chestburster is horrifically born tearing itself free from its host's chest cavity. After molting, the Chestburster becomes an adult Drone, which eventually ages into a Warrior. The entire Xenomorph species lives to propagate itself by using every and all lifeforms in whatever ecosystem they've infected to grow their numbers and spread even further.

In Mortal Kombat X, a Xenomorph is depicted being born from the Tarkatan warrior, Baraka, creating a new, and exclusively unique variation of the Alien.

Appearance

The Alien retains its standard bio-mechanical skeletal appearance carried over from its namesake series, retaining the black chitinous hide, ribbed sides, double-fingers, inner-jaws, and segmented tail with barbed tip, but also possesses several noticeable differences from the classic look of the creature.

The Alien is much bulkier in comparison to the leaner figure of the standard Drone and Warrior castes of the film series, with the tube like protrusions emerging from its back being much shorter than normal. The elongated cylindrical skull is also much shorter, almost spherical, and the Alien possesses more exposed fanged teeth along its mouth, one of the more obvious inheritances it takes up from its Tarkata host.

The most obvious physical distinction this Alien has when compared to its film counterparts, are the ridged 'sheathes' along its forearms that hold its Tarkatan Blades. Unlike the smooth, sword like standard Tarkatan Blades, the Alien's are segmented like its tail and have the same dark coloring of its chitinous hide. While the head of the Alien has been depicted as the smooth style of the original Alien, its variations give it the rigded Warrior styling and a larger crest of a Praetorian or Queen.
