Original design for the Alien: Romulus Offspring Xenomorph looked VERY different!

Before the creature that birthed from Kay at the end of Alien: Romulus looked like an amalgamation of Human / Xenomorph and Engineer (from Prometheus) DNA, the creature originally had a VERY different appearance! Official concept art for the Offspring Hybrid by Dane Hallett shows the Black Goo-ified monstrosity sporting wing-like appendages, a Xenomorph-like head, multiple limbs and more! Check it out:

 

According to Dane, this design for the Offspring was the original plan and made it all the way through production to previs before it was changed last minute to the more Humanoid/Engineer looking creature we saw in the final cut of the film.

Additional early sketches of the Offspring depicted another form of a creepy, multi-limbed monster which surely would've made for some grade A nightmare fuel if realized on film:

What do you think of the original design for the Offspring? How do you like these designs compared to what we ended up getting in the movie? Sound off in the comments below and let us know your thoughts!

I like it but I also liked the one we got in the movie. Hmmm perhaps this could have been its adult form?
