The Xenomorph’s design was inspired by nightmares. H.R. Giger’s biomechanical style made it both creepy and alien—its elongated head, inner jaw, and sleek black body came from his dark art visions.
It’s a perfect predator. Xenomorphs have acid blood, insane strength, and can adapt to almost any host species, making them terrifying killers in any environment.
The franchise started with just one film in 1979. Alien kicked off the series, but the Xenomorph quickly became an icon of sci-fi horror, spawning sequels, comics, games, and crossovers like Alien vs. Predator.
