The monster has seen various tweaks and changes to its appearance, from the small to the extreme (for better or worse), to the point where it’s easy to get lost in the franchise’s surprisingly deep mythology and designs.
The Xenomorph has been terrifying/enrapturing movie fans since Ridley Scott’s 1979 classic, killing a host of characters in a wide variety of ways.
Like a small creature mercilessly bursting out of a chest, the Xenomorph has risen to become one of the most iconic movie monsters out there.
With each new entry in the Alien series, the creature comes back in a shiny new form, never quite the same as when it was last seen.
