Land, air and water.

What we do not really know exactly is what that achieved, and where it was achieved. What we have seen is Cuddles the squid, which would certainly be more suited to an aquatic environment. The Cobrahugger would appear to be amphibian. The Engineers are land based. It’s at this point I’m starting to think ‘chicken’.
Bird’s use an egg tooth to break through the shell, which after a short time falls off. The Deacon’s protrusive head may serve the same purpose. Maybe this shrinks back. A chick is also flightless, and when you look at a chick it’s overall look does not suggest something that is going to fly. So, strange as this may seem, is it possible that the fully grown Deacon has the ability to fly.

Throughout all the Alien franchise, and Prometheus I have not seen any alien design that is based around flight. I guess this is probably down to Giger, but there never seems to be any airbourne predators.
Don't know why this has got me thinking about food, but my mind has strayed onto the idea of a Deacon bargain bucket with a black goo dip. Just need the flame thrower used on Fifield to get the BBQ going.

@ batchpool,
Not exactly a new idea, as is shown by these pieces of art...

Just out of interest, the name Deacon if anyone wants to wiki it refers to a messenger. The messenger of the Gods was Hermes ( known for speed and flight) who is sometimes represented by the symbol of the rooster.
Deacon Vs That-we-can-not-mention because it is capon.
