ALIEN: COVENANT SPORES – Are they spores?

If you look at the ’spore scene’ of the Alien: Covenant trailer carefully, you can discover that the ’spore’ does not behave like a spore – it does not float in the air but moves like an octopus (using tentacles) toward its victim.

(The trilobite in Prometheus was a huge facehugger and looked like an octopus.)

Do the spores move like sea creatures? No, they don’t. So this ’animal spore’ is the forerunner of the facehugger? You decide!

Awesome, BigDave. Awesome and disgusting. :) That short film monster (after jumping out) resembles the alien in the movie The Thing in my opinion - the scene where a human head grows spider legs. :)

chli --- Thanks, you made me happy for a whole week. :)

If we go back to the Spore again though

 

Looks like some kinds of Echinosphaerites (cystoid) which are Echinoderms

The Spore inside itself looks like a Echinodermata Antedon and Comatula Comanthus

Again related to the family Crinoids which again like Cystoids are a Echinoderm

Here they are swimming and note its similar to how the Spore moves to the ear.

So many interesting organisms in the order of Echinoderm that also have bizarre life cycles and true regenerative abilities.

The Eel video is related to Echinoderms and so was the Elder Things from HP Lovecrafts At the Mountains of Madness which Star Beast and Prometheus borrowed some ideas from.

Just leave this here too..

Indeed ATI they did design the Trilobite off Molluscoid and with a pinch of salt, i was told they ideas behind the Original Parasites was to take references from Molluscoid's but mainly the  Echinoderm/Cystoidea

Who can forget the eyeworm ;)

Indeed this was something that maybe got overlooked, and its why my theory was that the Ampoules contained maybe a Parasite in the Top and the other part of the Urns acted the same as the Sacrificial Goo and thus breaking down the Parasites DNA.

Its just one of the Two ways i look at the Black Goo.

And so in this case, it was not mutated Sperm, but a Parasite that Holloway passed on just the same as a Sexually Transmitted Disease, but then again it could be mutated Sperm that then decided to wander around Holloways Body

And this is the Octo-Facehugger mentioned by ALIEN426:

The Octo-Facehugger was a Xenomorph creature cut from Prometheus early in its production. In Jon Spaihts' original script, titled Alien: Engineers, it was an Octo-Facehugger that impregnated Holloway with an embryo, which later hatched into the Beluga-Xenomorph. The Octo-Facehugger was entirely written out of the finished film.

The Octo-Facehuggers are found inside the Engineer temple on LV-426 by Holloway, contained within molluscoid, egg-like sacs found inside honeycomb-like recesses on the ceiling of a large chamber. One of the creatures subdues and impregnates Holloway. Jocelyn Watts later finds the chamber where the Octo-Facehuggers are held, although she flees before rousing any of them.
