This has been moved from its original location ==== spoiler alert. === spoiler alert ====== Time to test your maths skills in our question of the day. In Alien a baby xenomoph starts life as a chestbuster of lets say the same size as a human hand and in a few hours grows to around 10ft tall In Prometheus the squid monster also grows from slightly larger than a football to 20ft in just a few hours. It’s an established fact that the Aliens grow very quickly – right? With that in mind, in Prometheus a 10th Engineer gives birth to a 6ft xeno. Considering the same rate of growth what size will be it after 24 hours? Perhaps future missions were a bit put off by the 3,000 foot monster clearly visible from space

Or it grows to be the queen? (don't like that, but if that it is, then that it is)

Assuming that chest buster in Alien was about 25cm long and it grew to about 7ft monster(210cm) then if chest buster in Prometheus is roughly 180cm tall it's gonna get as tall as 15 meters - 50 feet

I think it will be closer to 90ft as it growth is around 14x its original size.

I wouldn't say it would grow 50 feet! Cuddles was probably that big just due to the "enhancement" of the virus (AKA the parasites Holloway had when he was *ahem* "making love" Shaw).

Perhaps the initial size of the proto-xeno can be attributed to the fact that the size of it's host allowed it to develop longer before it emerged. It is also wise to take into account that this isn't your garden variety xeno. I'm not denying that this species isn't very closely related, but it is a different species. Although some instances might suggest that this type of xeno will behave and develop in a similar way, we can't necessarily deny that we have no real idea of what to expect from this new species.

15 to 25+ feet tall and larger in mass too, but will still maintain the skeletal look. And this xeno is not a queen but a common drone/soldier form. It wouldn't look like the Jockey Alien seen in Apocalypse: the destroying Angels comic, but would defintely be something nasty. Very organic w that shark like head. the epidermis would harden up (maybe) to become a more developed exoskeleton w differently shaped dorsal spines. Will be able to break walls and claw undrground?On big lumbering dinosaur proportions? Myabe it can spread bioform on contact (like touching a blowfish or a poisonous frog). Maybe not, but its definitely going to be larger and nastier that the traditional xenomorph. Might have more unique abilities too.
