Product Information

Situated on either side of the creature's body at the base of the tail are a pair of bag-like bladder structures that are used to circulate air into the victims lungs during implantation. Underneath the Facehugger is a small orifice, from which the creature will extend a proboscis into the host's throat for implantation; this proboscis is around 50 to 60 centimeters in length. [1] While fragile and ill-equipped for combat, Facehuggers' small size and rapid movement makes them adept at ambushing potential hosts, and also makes them difficult to kill. [8] Facehuggers have been known to be used in an actively offensive role when transported by a Carrier. [9] For Aliens, where the Facehugger took a more active role, numerous different models were constructed to give the creatures a far greater range of movements. Effects supervisor Stan Winston said of the production, "We have – including states of decay and dead ones, dissected ones and living ones that do different things – approximately 15 Facehuggers, to make it look like one lives." [35]

Prior to detecting a host, Facehuggers are actually inert and lifeless within their Ovomorph. When the Egg detects a host nearby, it will transfer all of the remaining bio-electric potential of its acidic blood to the Facehugger, and it is only then that the creature becomes "alive". [10] The Egg will then open and the creature will launch itself at the victim. Another theory was that the Facehugger implants some sort of cellular cluster or tumors that would force the hosts body to construct the chestburster within them, thereby explaining how the Chestburster can be gestating where it is, as the host body grows it. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=346057322180739&set=a.346054932180978.78876.100003294225459&type=3&theater There have been multiple theories regarding the 'impregnation process' and what it is that the Facehugger implants into its host.

Superior Firepower: Making Aliens ( 2003), 20th Century Fox [DVD].In the 2015 fighting game Mortal Kombat X, the Facehugger was a part of the Tarkatan Xenomorph's 'Konjurer' moveset. Whilst subdued, victims have been known to experience vivid and distressing dreams, often concerning smothering of the face. [5] [16] [17] It is unknown if this is directly linked to the Facehugger's presence, although given the typical subject matter, it seems likely. Such dreams may not be universal to all victims, although many of the Facehugger victims during the initial stages of the Hadley's Hope infestation were noted to have woken up screaming, suggesting that there is a majority that do. [16] In the novel "Aliens : Prototype" it is suggested that the determination of a facehugger as being either a Royal or drone is seemingly up to nothing more than genetic chance, and while in the drones case it would be a welcome chance, it doesn't seem to rely on this idea as its train of thought follows a significantly slower growth for its hive.

The Facehugger was the first design completed by H. R. Giger for Alien. [30] His original Facehugger was a much larger creature with eyes and a spring-loaded tail. Later, in response to comments from the filmmakers, Giger reduced the creature's size substantially. [31] At first Giger assumed that the Facehugger would wrap around the outside of Kane's helmet, but Scott decided that it would have far more impact if the Facehugger were revealed once the helmet was removed. Scott and Giger realised that the Facehugger could burn through the helmet's faceplate with its acid blood; subsequent redesigns of the space helmet included a far larger faceplate to allow for this. [32] This strangely beautiful piece (which we came across at Laughing Squid) is the work of James Body of Pirate’s Leatherworks in York, UK. He crafted this stunning homage to Alien‘s iconic head-seeking monster because, like all of us, he needed a mask. The end result is a gorgeous, functional work of art. The craftsmanship, shifting colors of the leather, and attention to detail makes this mask look like it might actually be alive. The actual Facehugger prop used in Alien is located at Movie Madness in Portland, OR, along with the Chestburster and the original Xenomorph headpiece. [ citation needed]The 1997 crossover Batman/Aliens had a Crocodile Alien, implying a Facehugger was able to overpower a crocodile despite its larger stronger jaw and longer breath-holding abilities. While Facehuggers have been removed before embryo implantation has taken place, the process is ostensibly fatal for the host. [7] The Facehugger's combination of vice-like grip, its ability to administer sedative chemicals and its highly acidic blood makes them almost impossible to safely remove. Additionally, their outer skin is known to harden shortly after emerging from the Egg, becoming chitinous, similar to the mesoskeleton of the later, adult stages of the creature's life cycle, affording the Facehugger an increased resistance to physical trauma.
