I thought it would be interesting to open up a discussion about the biology of the Alien/Xenomorph - what has been established and what your theories are.
Firstly, see them four hose-like appendages on the Aliens back, they have never been explained. Yet i have always assumed them to have two functions...
1. Breathing - essentially four long nostrils on the Aliens back.
2. Heat Venting - a clever way in which to vent body heat, as I have always assumed the Alien has a very high metabolism.
What are your theories/salvaged trivia regards these four hose-like appendages.

MemberOvomorph12/12/2011This is all very good Snork. The AVP movies dabbled in this with disasterous effects. Too complicated and no audience for it. The Alien is a thoroughbred creature with a very simple life cycle but with a massive problem when it comes to survival. It needs another creature to survive. So isolate it and it dies out which means it cannot live on it's own. So when compared with what we understand as evolution it does not fit in. Given that it must, using our logic and what we know of nature, be a by-product of something else.
