A Facehugger Alien is a explanation of an Alien from the movie “Alien”. A Facehugger Alien is one of the several levels of life an Alien will follow before reaching adulthood. The beginning of life start in the egg. The egg is shrouded in a protective layer of mist. The “Mother Alien” can lay hundreds of eggs in one day. The eggs will remain dormant without need of outside influence from the mother. Once the mist layer is breached by an unsuspecting host, then the alien inside the egg awakens. The mist acts like a spider’s web, awakening the alien inside.
The egg opens from the crown, permitting the air to fully awaken the Facehugger Alien. The shell of the egg is made from a very hard substance. It is very thick and can only be destroyed through explosives, bullets or other fast moving projectiles. It is impossible to destroy the egg with the bare hand.
The host’s curiosity, becomes its first and last mistake. The egg is hatched with the Facehugger Alien positioned at the bottom of the egg, in a recoiled state. Upon looking into the opened egg, the host is attacked. The Facehugger Alien will leap out of the egg and attach itself to the face of the host. It accomplishes this, by grabbing onto the head of the host with its eight finger like legs. The “finger like legs” are also used for running, navigating through tight spaces and jumping.
Once attached to the victim’s face, it is impossible to pull off. The legs lock around the host and make it impossible to pull the Alien off. Any attempt to pull on the Alien will result in a tighter more deadly grip around the host. The Facehugger Alien has one single design and that is to stay alive long enough to implant a embryo into the stomach of the host.
The first step for the alien is to strangle the host, which causes the host to become unconscious. Then it slides an elongated appendage through the mouth into the base of the stomach. This servers more than one purpose. First it keeps the host alive by providing it with enough oxygen to survive. Secondly it uses the same appendage to insert an Alien embryo into the stomach of the host.
Trying to cut the Alien away from the host, creates a more dangerous situation. When an the skin is cut, it immediately begins to bleed. The blood from the Alien is not only toxic, buy acidic. It will burn through all metals, skin and anything else that gets into the path of the blood.
The Facehugger will detach from its host, once the embryo is ready to hatch. The life expectancy of a Facehugger is rather short. It only lives long enough to find a host and ensure maturity of the embryo. Once that happens it will fall from its host and die. It has served it purpose.
Upon wakening the host will feel extremely hungry. There are little signs of trauma.to the host. Within a few hours to a day, the alien within the host will burst from the stomach killing the host and releasing the alien into its new environment. Within a short period of time the Alien will reach maturity. Aliens mature at an accelerated rate. Under normal conditions, an Alien can mature in a matter of days.
