MemberOvomorphMay-06-2012 7:30 PMIn response to some of us not wanting to call these aliens "Xenos'' how about we call them Ridleymorphs or Gigermorphs (if he did design them!) What do you guys think?

MemberOvomorphMay-07-2012 5:46 AMExtensive evidence in the litterature shows the project lead by Spaith, Lindelof and Scott (2012) attempts to stick close to sensible elements regarding both evolutionary biology or general science and mythology. As a consequence, it appears to us the decisions of following the Linnean, latin binomial nomenclature to describe the organism first observed in Scott (1979) shall prevail. Indeed, adequately, real species are often named after anatomical/behavioral attributes or greek/latin myths these can be referred to, combined to the name of the discoverer - provided he is not the current describer. Hence I hereby propose the creature to be named [i]Thanatodoros gigeri gen. sp. nov.[/i]
Genus [i]Thanatodoros[/i] can be translated as 'gift of death' or 'gifted by death' and the word giving the suffix [i]doros[/i] also originally implies a 'gift to gods' or a tribute/toll collected by the gods. At the specific level, [i]gigeri[/i] - meaning 'of Giger' - refers to the swiss artist Hans Ruedi Giger.
This name makes sense on many levels here, considering the [b]diagnosis[/b] of this creature. It appears [i]Thanatodoros gigeri[/i] may potentially have been intended as a cruel weapon of mass destruction used by Engineers to extensively wipe out certain life forms - with all due respect to our much beloved creator overlords. In the least, may this theory be proven false, extensive original recordings (Scott 1979, Cameron 1986 ; see also Fincher 1992 and Jeunet 1997) have been observed by present author showing various specimens of [i]Thanatodoros gigeri[/i] giving death on multiple occasions, further supporting our initial hypothesis that this organism is relatively efficient at delivering death. The species name 'gigeri' appears appropriate as a tribute to the artist being first to discover this organism, prior to its description by Scott (1979).
As a conclusion, we acknowledge the initial proposition of Alien Scott 1979 but consider it fails to respect the rules of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) or to provide an unambiguous designation. It also appears consensual in the community that similar conditions applies alike to all other denominations it subsequently fell synonym with, as each fails at respecting ICZN or can designate a lot of things/people - 'Xenomorph' ; 'Biomechanoid' ; 'Star Beast' ; 'Bigandscarii m*therf*ckae'. Our current conclusions are subjected to modification after new data is published following completion of a new project by colleagues ("Prometheus Project" - Scott et al. 2012 ; see also Weyland 2088 ; 2093 and comm. pers.). Until then, we advocate that the novel genus and species [i]Thanatodoros gigeri[/i] shall be retained, and associated to an abbreviated form for casual discussion - e.g. 'the Thana'.
[...otherwise, I would think 'Belaji' to be quite the neat one indeed! shows recognition+non ambiguous]
