Ok, so... i know it's been discussed.... SO many times, but I would like your 5 cents on my thoughts.. Looking at the engineer, he is in a biomechanial suit. Now, it's structure has some resemblence to the biomechanial nature of the Alien. Next i cuddles.. It's hyper aggressive (Can we safely agree on?) and maybe so a bioweapon created by the engineers. The snake... Strong resemblance to the egg (Has also been discussed).. The dome on the Alien, has originally eyes.. So i wonder.. Is the Alien the product of a mixture of David, an engineer and the bioweapon? Combining those three would make for a weird creature, a true bastard and a perfect weapon.. Traits: Strong and intelligent like an engineer Aggressive and deadly as cuddles Has a biomechanial structure with traits from David And a life cycle based on the snake.. So in conclusion, the Alien is "man" made.. What you think?

I don't think it's a mural at all.

That mural is not necessarily showing a xenomorph, and I can guarantee you that the mural did not exist before the movie. I can say with some certainty that the production crew made it for this film specifically. =P

I think that this isn't a spoiler.

Sorry, just wanted to be sure... and with respect that maybe not everyone has seen those tv-spots and trailers..

"The dome on the Alien, has originally eyes.. So i wonder.." I think you should learn to put words together better. Is this really spoiler worthy?

Geiger's original alien had elements of a human skull in the front of the head covered by the semi translucent outer shell

Think I read it somewhere that the xeno was originally supposed to have eyes (Giger started working from a human skull), but that RS and Giger then rightly decided that it would feel much scarier to have a creature without eyes, and yet behaving as if it saw everything perfectly. About the theory, fox, your guess sounds as good as any, we shall find out soon enough anyway... Somebody somewhere mentioned a creature with 4 phases of existence, I think but cannot recall if it was anything official or at least semi-official.

What if this movie has nothing to do with the Xenomorph? The connection to Alien has already been established via the Space Jockey. As far as critters designed by advanced alien lifeforms are concerned, the Xenomorph is like the equivalent of one of our missiles (If the Engineers use them as weapons). Surely, there can be other critters shown in this movie (like the snake, tentacle monster) that are not necessarily directly connected to the Xeno at all. I do not think all the events in the film will have the purpose of making a Xenomorph at the end. That seems more like a fanfiction than a new film by Ridley Scott.

The Xeno already existed before this movie because there is a mural on the temple showing them.
