I've seen a lot of distaste here for the term " Xenomorph". This name has been around for some 26 years, since James Cameron coined it in Aliens. I understand that part of the problem is that Xenomorph isn't really a proper name, but an adjective. So what do all of you think? Any ideas as to what might be a better name for the beloved Xeno?

Anyway I'm a little tired of the word xenomorph but also we don't know if the sequel will have monsters (or the deacon, because it could be completely new creatures, who knows)

The MORB. I know it sounds like NOOB but that's just a coincidence, I assure you. Heretofore I will refer to the Xeno as the MORB.

What's about Plaque ( xeno as an ultimate parasite) consumes everything what lives, and after that dye, and only its spores survive; waiting for another chance/host. Still the xenomorph is my favorite name!! :-)
I have a pretty good idea of where it is. It's just down there, in the basement....

The unknown, as we know, is far more terrifying than anything we could assign a name to. This is why people so desperately feel a need to name and know everything. This is also why we fear death (because truthfully, no one knows, if we were certain there was a cloudy heaven waiting, well that wouldn't be scary at all) This I why the creature is so much more effective when it remains nameless. Xenomorph is a stupid title, it literally just means Alien, or 'Foreign Form' I think ill stick with "that creature from Alien" or "The beast" Xenomorph sounds like a bug infestation, which set the tone for the stupid Cameron follow-up.

I Personally can't think of anything more mysterious and frightening than MORB. The way everybody refuses to embrace it only proves that it's too frightening to even type on a keyboard. Good thing I have the courage to do this for you. MORB is the new BOO!!

Bruno LOL....I call it Necronom ...It's more of a tip of the hat to H R Giger than anything else. Or Necromorph. I do like the term Morb. What about "Dickhead"?

The poster was good though!

People, I think we are neglecting the obvious here. Giger's Alien is good but ............. [b][i]Ex-Wife[/i][/b] is more appropriate :)
