The similarity with the xenomorphs is obvious and IMHO much more strong that in the case of the zerg of starcraft, and you can notice it in these pictures:

Hey Sham,
Your thread is fixed. I agree to a point, I think the zerg is completely xeno'fied other than the snake like lower body. But there is only so much you can do to make a creature look xeno before you start falling into intellectual property infringement. But what you have here is definitely xeno'fied. Look at the lower faces totally xeno mouthed and then the skeletal ribcage is xeno as well. The armor throws it off though.
Regards,
Rick
