What is that eyeball octopus alien specimen in Alien: Earth? It's official name is Trypanohyncha Ocellus – or T. Ocellus for short and it is a highly intelligent invertebrate, parasitic organism. Recovered by the Weyland-Yutani deep space research vessel the USCSS Maginot, this deadly little organism found its way on Earth after the Maginot unexpectedly crash-landed due to a containment breach. This article details information about this specific specimen and will be expanded upon as new information becomes available.
Species Classification
The Trypanohyncha Ocellus (T. Ocellus) is classified as a parasitic organism. Unlike symbiotic relationships like that of a Xenomorph Chestburster and its host, the T. Ocellus utilizes its hosts by first killing them outright and then hijacking their brain and nervous system to reanimate their corpse.
Temperament
The T. Ocellus is a highly aggressive organism. Calculated and decisive, this little creature exhibits hostile temperament with very little intention of interspecies communication.
Traits & Abilities
- Invertebrate
- Extremely quick and agile
- Highly intelligent
- Able to alter brain waves of host organism
- Preferred method of attack seems to be through eye sockets – quick access to the brain in conventional beings
- Able to reanimate lifeless bodies regardless of physical state and circulation
Weyland-Yutani Applications
The purpose and intended application for the T. Ocellus species at Weyland-Yutani is unknown. How the organism was discovered and where it originated from remains classified. Given its unique abilities and traits, it could potentially provide technogical advancements with regards.to cognitive improvement for Humans and A.I.
With no indication that the signular T. Ocellus on board the Maginot can reproduce, it can be safely assumed the organism would be studied and dissected rather than multiplied and grown for any form of bio-weapons application. The purpose for Weyland-Yutani's fascination with this organism remains to be understood.
As new information regarding this specimen become available, this post will be updated.
