Product Information

The scene from the beginning of Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem showing a Facehugger in a tube aboard the Scout Ship lunging at the camera is an obvious reference to the similar scene in Aliens where a Facehugger in a tube lunges at Burke in an identical manner. The Facehugger greatly resembles a pair of skeletal hands fused together, with a spine-like tail. It has eight long, finger-like legs which allow it to crawl rapidly, and a long tail adapted for making great leaps. These particular appendages give it an appearance somewhat comparable to Chelicerate arthropods such as arachnids and horseshoe crabs. The underside of the Facehugger and its orifice (from which extends a proboscis used for delivering the Xenomorph embryo) noticeably resemble a human female's vagina. While Facehuggers have been removed before embryo implantation has taken place, the process is ostensibly fatal for the host. [7] The Facehugger's combination of vice-like grip, its ability to administer sedative chemicals and its highly acidic blood makes them almost impossible to safely remove. Additionally, their outer skin is known to harden shortly after emerging from the Egg, becoming chitinous, similar to the mesoskeleton of the later, adult stages of the creature's life cycle, affording the Facehugger an increased resistance to physical trauma. [1] [5] The Royal Facehugger has the ability to lay a Queen embryo inside a host, as well as a further standard embryo inside a second host, a tactic designed to give the unborn Queen an immediate "bodyguard" in the form of a normal Drone.

Whilst subdued, victims have been known to experience vivid and distressing dreams, often concerning smothering of the face. [5] [16] [17] It is unknown if this is directly linked to the Facehugger's presence, although given the typical subject matter, it seems likely. Such dreams may not be universal to all victims, although many of the Facehugger victims during the initial stages of the Hadley's Hope infestation were noted to have woken up screaming, suggesting that there is a majority that do. [16]

The Facehugger was the first design completed by H. R. Giger for Alien. [30] His original Facehugger was a much larger creature with eyes and a spring-loaded tail. Later, in response to comments from the filmmakers, Giger reduced the creature's size substantially. [31] At first Giger assumed that the Facehugger would wrap around the outside of Kane's helmet, but Scott decided that it would have far more impact if the Facehugger were revealed once the helmet was removed. Scott and Giger realised that the Facehugger could burn through the helmet's faceplate with its acid blood; subsequent redesigns of the space helmet included a far larger faceplate to allow for this. [32] Some video games of the Alien vs. Predator franchise have allowed players to take control of a Facehugger as part of the Alien campaign.

For Aliens, where the Facehugger took a more active role, numerous different models were constructed to give the creatures a far greater range of movements. Effects supervisor Stan Winston said of the production, "We have – including states of decay and dead ones, dissected ones and living ones that do different things – approximately 15 Facehuggers, to make it look like one lives." [35]

The 1997 crossover Batman/Aliens had a Crocodile Alien, implying a Facehugger was able to overpower a crocodile despite its larger stronger jaw and longer breath-holding abilities. Janie, my wife... she got one of those things on her face." ― Freya's Prospect colonist C. Hope, referring to the Facehugger (from Aliens vs. Predator)

Cite error: Invalid tag; name "OOTS260" defined multiple times with different content As with the Royal Facehugger, Praetorian Facehuggers play a part in creating Queens by implanting Praetorian Chestbursters. These Praetorians can subsequently develop into a Queen. Should a Queen already be present, the resulting Praetorian can develop into a bodyguard – either a Ravager or a Carrier depending on the circumstances. Like regular Facehuggers, they die after implanting one embryo, making them distinct from Royal Facehuggers. Prior to detecting a host, Facehuggers are actually inert and lifeless within their Ovomorph. When the Egg detects a host nearby, it will transfer all of the remaining bio-electric potential of its acidic blood to the Facehugger, and it is only then that the creature becomes "alive". [10] The Egg will then open and the creature will launch itself at the victim. Surgically removed before embryo implantation. Subject: Marachuk, John J., died during the procedure.' They killed him taking it off." ― Bishop, reading from Marachuk's medical chart (from Aliens)

This strangely beautiful piece (which we came across at Laughing Squid) is the work of James Body of Pirate’s Leatherworks in York, UK. He crafted this stunning homage to Alien‘s iconic head-seeking monster because, like all of us, he needed a mask. The end result is a gorgeous, functional work of art. The craftsmanship, shifting colors of the leather, and attention to detail makes this mask look like it might actually be alive. Facehuggers also seem to know if a host is suitable or not within seconds of attaching to a host, with one letting go of a host when it discovered that she had a wasting disease. This is preference for suitable host is likely to make sure that no defects are passed on to the gesting embryo.The necessity of a Royal Facehugger in creating a Queen has never been definitive – many sources show standard Facehuggers to be capable of creating a Queen. Given that the Xenomorph species is adaptive in so many ways, this may well be plausible.
