Being aXenomorphhost is almost always a death sentence inAliencanon , as that imply a Chestburster will necessarily do as - advertised and burst forth from one ’s chest . However , until that time comes , Xenomorph hosts actually have a hidden power that can be used against the Xenomorphs themselves .

The Xenomorphs ’ horrific life - cycle is this : an Ovomorph containing a Facehugger is laid by the Queen Xenomorph , and the egg time lag until a viable host is present before it opens and releases the Facehugger , which then implants the genetic cloth that will become aXenomorph inside the innkeeper ’s bureau . Before long , the Chestburster is ready to hatch , which mean the emcee has served its determination . While dying is all but guaranteed , a Xenomorph host does have a little bit of time in between the Facehugger ’s implantation of Xenomorph DNA inside them , and the Xenomorph actually being heavy enough to burst out of their bureau . As oneAvPcomic reveals , it is within that period of time that a innkeeper actually becomes one with the Xenomorphs ’ intact beehive , which grants them certain advantage over the alien creatures .

Alien Hosts Become Living Xenomorph Alert Systems

InAliens vs Predator : Life and Death#1 by Dan Abnett and Brian Albert Thies , a radical of human survivors are on LV-223 , fighting for their lives against a horde ofXenomorphs that have get over the planet . Unfortunately , one of the human survivor already succumbed to the worst fate a Xenomorph can offer : impregnation . She became a legion , and was currently carrying a growing Xenomorph inside of her . While this was heavy for everyone to total to term with , the host actually recover a bright side to her gruesome fate . Whenever the Xenomorph horde near the mathematical group ( who were on the run in this hostile world ) , she could feel the horde getting close inside herself . It was tough for her to explain , but the feeling she got was something akin to a whisper in her brain that increase in volume the closer the Xenomorphs commence . Whenever this happen , the group would nibble up and move on to a safe location before being torn to shreds .

This ability is no doubt link up to the Xenomorphs ’ psychical hive - idea , which is presumed to be their form of communication . While telepathic tie is n’t explicitly canyon within the enfranchisement , it is the most widely used and accepted hypothesis regarding how they communicate . Previous storyline ( include the very firstAlienscomic serial from Dark Horse Comics ) tapped into this melodic theme as well , with Xenomorphs using their unique telepathic channels to actually lure humans into their hives . This seems to be no dissimilar , as the growing Xenomorph is establishing a connexion with its beehive while still inside its horde , which offer the master of ceremonies a peek into the Xenomorphs ’ beehive - mind . With this limited access to the Xenomorphs ’ telepathic communication line , the human server is able to ‘ experience ’ when Xenomorphs are near , and can then alert the other members of their group .

While it would be useful for a radical of humans to have a Xenomorph - alarum scheme on their squad while trying to pull through a hostile alien planet , the price they have to pay is dreaded – but perhaps , it ’s deserving it . Without the human boniface alerting her group to approaching Xenomorphs , the entire squad would have been torn apart by them long before the events of this issue . However , because she was impregnated by a Xenomorph , and therefore had memory access to the beehive - head , most of the squad live till the end of this miniseries , even though she finally exit when the Xenomorph was born . This calls into interrogative a serious ethical quandary : is it well to sacrifice one for the saki of the mathematical group , or is it better for the full group to face assured death on equal term together ? Tough call , which is exactly why this hidden force demo byXenomorphhosts inAliencanon is so atrocious .
