This article is a description of an Alien from the motion picture "Alien". A Facehugger Alien is one of the several levels of life an Alien will follow before reaching adulthood. The beginning of life start in the egg. The egg is shrouded in a protective layer of mist. The "Mother Alien" can lay hundreds of eggs in one day. The eggs will remain dormant without need of outside influence from the mother. Once the mist layer is breached by an unsuspecting host, then the alien inside the egg awakens. The mist acts like a spider's web, awakening the alien inside.
The egg opens from the crown, allowing the air to fully awaken the Alien. The shell of the egg is made from a very hard substance. It is very thick and can only be destroyed through explosives, bullets or other fast moving projectiles. It is impossible to destroy the egg with the bare hand.
The host's curiosity, becomes its first and last mistake. The egg is hatched with the Facehugger positioned at the base of the egg, in a recoiled state. Upon looking into the opened egg, the host is attacked. The Alien will coil out of the egg and attach itself to the head of the host. It does this by wrapping its eight finger like legs around the face of the victim. It can also use this appendages to run, jump and navigate rather quickly.
Once attached to the victim's face, it is impossible to pull off. The legs fasten around the host and make it impossible to pull the Alien off. Any attempt to pull on the Alien will result in a tighter more deadly grip around the host. The Alien has one single design and that is to stay alive long enough to implant a embryo into the stomach of the host.
The first step for the alien is to strangle the host, which causes the host to become unconscious. Then it slides an elongated appendage through the mouth into the base of the stomach. This servers more than one purpose. First it keeps the host alive by providing it with enough oxygen to survive. Secondly it uses the same appendage to insert an Alien embryo into the stomach of the host.
If a procedure to cut the Alien away from the host is enacted, a more dangerous condition will arise. When an Alien's skin is cut, it releases blood that is toxic and acidic. If the blood is spilled on the host, it will eat right through the skin and bone. Alien blood will eat through all metals and materials.
The Facehugger will detach from its host, once the embryo is ready to hatch. The life expectancy of a Facehugger is rather short. It only lives long enough to find a host and ensure maturity of the embryo. Once that happens it will fall from its host and die. It has served it purpose.
When the host come out of its comma like sleep, hunger will set in. No physical trauma is apparent and for all intent and purposes the host will feel fine. Yet within a short amount of time, the Alien will be ready for birth. At this time the Alien will burst from the stomach, instantly killing its host. Aliens reach maturity in a very short amount of time. Whereas humans will take years to mature into self-sustaining beings, Aliens will carry out this same growth rate in a matter of days.
