This makes me further wonder if a deacon could be facehugged!?
Given the mural shows ovomorphs already existed, was this meant to suggest David was not responsible for them?

I think David merely made a copy of the engineer's xenomorphs. The Alien RPG refers to David's recreation as the Praetomorph.
