If you look to at the creature's absolute right it looks like the head of a chestburster. To the left it looks like a tail! I don't know, that just what it looks to me. Thoughts?

And if you look much closer, you will see an umbilical cord going to Shaw's stomach. In later pictures, she has staples on her abdomen.
Not a chestburster, but some kind of awful offspring compliments of an infected Halloway- at least per the majority of speculators. It has been surgically removed by the medical pod.
Creepy looking rascal!

how the hell would a thing that big come out of her??? atleast 2 or 3 times a normal child.
RSANDMarch 21, 2012
Looks like a hybrid of a chestburster and Hugger. Whatever it is, it looks VERY threatening.
Great job with the footage Jeremy!
DarthSpockMarch 21, 2012
Wasn't there some early footage, or pics, of something squirming around in Shaw's stomach?
I'm betting this creature was "c-sectioned" out...

HeustessMarch 21, 2012
Could she have been infected by the mutant somehow to create a weapon that would then kill the rest crew?

Mr.JMarch 21, 2012
I can see this being the First Gen type, coming from Holloway and into Shaw...Not as Biomechanicl as the Alien, yet because it has yet to cross with the Space jockey perhaps...
Graphix67March 21, 2012
Another thought: Could this creature eventually go on to spawn the eggs that Kane eventually finds in the hull of the derelict???
DarthSpockMarch 21, 2012
Just as there's no traditional Xenomorphs in this movie (as according to R. Scott), I'm betting there won't be any other creatures from the original movies as well. Eggs, facehugger, chestbursters, etc.

JuxtaposeMarch 21, 2012
What's suppose to be the difference between a chestburster and a Xeno?....they one and the same thing...so a chestburster is a newly born xeno....just never really got why people have separate names for these beloved monsters..;)

Mr.JMarch 21, 2012
The hi-Res Trailer is over at Apple Movie trailers and you can clearly see a mouth visible and the smooth head. She had a C-Section, a messy a tube from all the wiggle from her new child....
I guess the Xeno, we think of started off different and then evolved...by Hollow's hand perhaps?

genjitsu17March 21, 2012
Thinking this is something new, or a pre-alien. Hoping the xeno's are an old species. Having the crew accidentally "create" them will be a let down to me.
I may work for the company, but im really an OK guy.

JuxtaposeMarch 21, 2012
@ genjitsu17...don't even care how they come about...as long as they do...we were the hosts in Alien...so the Xeno we know and love share bit of our DNA...if the Prometheus crew accidentally created the precognition of the Alien creature (xeno) ...they certainly did not do it alone!
ColinalmarinesMarch 21, 2012
I agree with Juxtapose, and even still this creature is obviously got to be the first gen. If its not then how did the first xeno come about?? And for those of you who keep calling the Sj's ship the Derelict..... thats not what it is called... that was a word used to describe the ship in the 2nd movie Aliens. So ya.

MolecularMarch 21, 2012
Hmmm... wait a second. If this offspring is theoretically a first-gen xeno- not having any Space Jockey DNA or having mixed with David yet- then why is the Xeno on the wall in the cave (or inside the derelict) appear to be the fully-formed version we are already familiar with? It seems to me that the xenomorph, in the form we know and love- already exists, somewhere.

Xenokiller3March 21, 2012
Since it one of the first xenos, it could be hibrid of facehugger and chestburster, a faceburster.
SlakkersMarch 21, 2012
lol, should make going to these forums my daily routine... oh wait... allready have. That explains my exeptionally good mood these days :-p
Lov ya guys (and gals?), in every sense of the world ;-)

genjitsu17March 21, 2012
Calling it the derelict is fine since we now know FOR SURE Aliens is canon. Just read the Weyland site for LOADS of proof. (Acheron, powerloaders, marines) Guess some people are still fighting the truth.
I may work for the company, but im really an OK guy.
TKfanboy421March 21, 2012
fantastic video work, its pretty clear. If any of you scuba dive, it looks like an octopus, bur eerily strange and something variantly different. I definately see the umbilical cord, so it's pretty obvious that Shaw was impregnated with it and it was surgically removed (via c-section?) possibly a way early variant of a face hugger, but I dont think it is, I think it might be the organism that the Engineers possibly send to planets for terraforming, to clear out whatever indigineous species is there by attiching to it's face and suffocating it to kill it. -just a theory but it definately looks lioke an octopus! ( early face hugere/xeno deosn't comply with depiction of xeno on the mural-that if i recall on the trailer, the mural moves and/or changes? ) ---I dunno..

BellaisanAlienMarch 21, 2012
I think the reflection in the pod makes it look like it has multiple legs but it is actually more snake or eel like. I'm wandering where these creatures originally came from to infect Holloway - the movement picked up by Shaw in the roof of the cave interests me....
SlakkersMarch 21, 2012
This is my thoughts: These are the research labs or storage facilities of a race that sets out into the waste space and seeds lifeforms on barren planets or re-shapes allready existing life. If just one of those canisters containt the seed for an entire planet, it would be catastrophical if it is opened uncontrolled and unsupervisored (pandoras box...) There is no pre-xeno, no chest or faceburster, only chaos...
And i think the progenitor of the Alien is the derelict, there is no human or SJ host, it is only the ship.

MolecularMarch 21, 2012
"Since it one of the first xenos, it could be hibrid of facehugger and chestburster, a faceburster." Lolerz! I would love to see that! Some of the ideas thrown around this site are better than half the crap coming out of real sci-fi movies these days! Bah, too long between now and June, freakin' sucks!
MazMarch 21, 2012
As someone said in a previous post this is a proto egg.
2 reasons:
- If u put this "squid" vertically he have obviously an egg shape, also with the infamous tentacles on the floor. Yes, it's smaller but it's a kind of proto egg.
- Giger depict the life cycle as the egg comin out from a woman belly as first step. And this prove it.

40mercuryMarch 21, 2012
It's very fascinating reading these threads and piece together ideas behind this movie. My take is this, sorry for my lack in knowing the characters names first hand, but her boyfriend impregnated her, as he was infected, the eye scene. She also closes a door, what might be this very creature reaping havoc. It could be a whole new evolution of this creature from what may have be known prior, the merging of our DNA with this creatures DNA.
TKfanboy421March 21, 2012
it's not trying to attack her, if you look close, it's being held by a clamp at the top of the white dome dealio, about at her waist line, like it retracted upward and pulled it out of her belly, ( probably trying to attack her face, or just squirming to squirm and look creepy )

genjitsu17March 21, 2012
Proto egg makes sense with the life cycle drawing. Afraid the life cycle is getting a bit too complicated. It was complicated already for an organism of any kind. *Prays to movie gods* I'm sure it will be badass.
I may work for the company, but im really an OK guy.

AtropaMarch 21, 2012
i think ive seen that thing in a hentai movie before, the woman's FACE was not the part he was interested in.... lol.

BellaisanAlienMarch 21, 2012
Im thinking the space jockeys are the goo which interacts with organisms changing their DNA and transforming them into the big blue jockey that goes in the suit; thus the caveman with blue veins in the trailer. However, I think the eel we have seen has a bad reaction to the goo trying to take it over and this results in the killing off of the jockey race. Near extinction a chance of humans interacting with the goo resurrects the jockeys but also gives the eel a chance to spawn. The accidental mix of eel, jockey goo and human and the sex between the infected Holloway and Shaw create the progenitor to the xeno....... could be completely wrong though :)

Finally! Some creature action :-D

alteredstate.March 21, 2012
you can see the Umbilical cord hanging down, so since she's not anesthetized when its being removed i assume the people responsible for her predicament are malevolent and dont give a hoot for her comfort. Very interesting situation and adds to the anticipation.

red hoodMarch 21, 2012
Again the size is to big to be in her body. It is twice or three times the size of a new born. But maybe its like those sponge toys that grow once they are dropped in water. And thus the toy tie in. ---- grow your own alien bastard! Fun to play with in the tub.

NCC 1701March 21, 2012
think on the wild side , she is being held down... Only to have it placed on her

alteredstate.March 21, 2012
when its coiled up it could well fit in her tummy . like an obese tape worm lol i think ridley has said we had to redesign the face hugger /chest burster/ alien but its unclear what that is.
ohhhh roll on june. you can see its attached to her tummy though or my imagination is getting the better of me.


NCC 1701March 21, 2012
may be she tried to run away , but who-ever,,, dragged her back in the ship and placed her back in the 2nd time ?
