The Dog Alien

from what iv hear and read he wanted to do ward and fasanos' wooden monk planet script and the alien to burst through the dog mattias but all he got was the dog idea.

I know the general Wooden Planet outline.I know some animal concepts consisted of sheep and a horse.

yea and that's the query, say there were many sheep and horse xenos, how would they react to each other? neither host is particularly aggressive in nature though can be when on the defensive but the xenos nature is purely aggressive

Totally depends on how the Organisms can interact during Procreation....

Would there be Pheromones or Psychic connection during the Infection part... so when Ripley was infected.. something triggered the type of Embryo the other Face Hugger would release so that it would release something that would have the objective to protect the Queen Host.... Eradicate any threat and gather Hosts for use for Genetically to Produce a Hive and for Hosts for Eggs?

Or again away from a set up Hive, or away from contact with other Eggs either by Pheromones or Psychic connection.... was the other Face Hugger simply just going to produce a Drone Type Alien like in Alien so that it would seek out to then start to Procreate its species maybe via Egg Morph?

Who knows

But i always thought the Alien 3 Alien was more similar in purpose to the Big Chap in Alien?

Maybe no Dorsal Spines/tubes... means its role is different and thus it can detect at Face Huger Stage there was a Queen local or in the making and thus it was only needed to ensure the Queen can be born and protected and provided with Hosts

Then we have to ask why do the Aliens Warriors have Dorsal Pipes/Spines?

I think the Organism takes on traits of the Hosts so they can fit in with the Environment of the Hosts..

The big question would be the nature of the Organism once a Hive is set up.... to they react and work well with others... is there some kind of Pheromone or Genetic Trait thats detected that allow them to determine which Hive they are from.

I think something like this would determine how they react with each other like different Ant Colonies... rather than being different Species..

For example... in Aliens... if 10 Humans became Hosts and created Warriors and a Dog was infected on the same outpost... i would think some programing is passed on to them.. so that the Dog Xeno and Human Xeno would work together for the greater good of that hive.

so basically the xeno coding is the dominant trait and regardless of host species they see each other as simply a single xeno? the characteristics taken from the host r simply that, a resemblance to the hosts form? would create variation within the species for sure and maybe a cast system would evole, xenos berthed from less intelligent species being at the bottom say and xenos birthed from say humans and engineers ranking at the top of the hive cast system maybe?

A question regarding the sheep xenomorph.Why did it Have a human face on It's a$$?

Think that was a nightmare concept.

"to get onto the point of the vicious nature of the dog alien. going by my earlier question, do u think the viciousness of the dog alien was because it was the only one of its kind and knew it had no way of reproduction? as queried, xenos birthed from different host species may very well not get along. to my knowledge the dog it birthed from was the only one so its species of xeno wasn't going to continue. now that it has no reason to keep hosts alive, we may just be seeing the raw aggression of the basic xeno dna?"

The idea behind the viciousness fit with the change to the dog (from Ox), according to Fincher.

As far as reproduction - it knew there was a Queen coming after it killed Clemens. Good way to protect that Queen is to remove any potential threats.
