As a born of someone else's. Queen of Aliens - New Princess Disney? Michael could not understand what's the matter ... But one day, Cameron refused to RIMAR's services - for the fact that the actor dared to object to the director in a conversation about how she should look and say
There are two assumptions about where xenomorphs come from. The first is quite simple: they simply appeared as some minor organism on an unknown planet and in the course of millions of years the evolution turned into what is represented now. That is similar to the organisms of our planet. I can safely declare that this assumption is false! In connection with their nature and the method of reproduction, they could not survive on any planet. They would destroy all living organisms of any planet and as a result, remaining without food and without a way to multiply, they would be extinct! Not. This assumption of their origin is incorrect! But the second assumption, it may not relate to the truth.
Another, highly developed form of life, the technologies of which are superior to any of our assumptions and even the imagination itself, created xenomorphs as a weapon! This civilization was called pilots. Since the racial pilots are so highly developed, it is only logical that they began to think about their superiority over any other organism of the Universe, and even if they did not even become, their desire to create their native planet without resources and began to need to seize a new planet with vital Resources. They became the ray of invaders, the enslavers of worlds.
But the more they fought, the more their losses were becoming. And then the great minds of the races of pilots began to develop a new way of capturing the planets. So they came up with the creation of xenomorph. It was enough to send just a couple of larvae xenomorphs (Facehugger) on the planet of the enemy, and after a few earthly years (or even months) the entire planet was infected with xenomorphs. But again, destroying all living creatures of the planet, xenomorphs - die out, and the planet remains empty.
In this genius of the plan of pilots. When the planet was absolutely empty and lifeless, they flew to her and built their colonies, swung the resources of this planet. Only, they would be able to continue to live and develop. It is not known that now with the pilots. For the first time, the human race collided with a pilot on the planet, where the events of the first and second part of the film occurred. In the first part, people found a broken cargo ship of pilots. This ship obviously transported their weapons - xenomorphs eggs.
Inside, people stumbled upon a representative of this great race. In a huge room on the chair, the pilot pilot was sitting on the chair (hence there was a name for race - pilots), who became a victim of weapons of his race (in the film it clearly shows that from the peer's chest cell, something broke out). Here it is the history of pilots and the origin of xenomorphs.
Alien belong to social beings with a hierarchical structure. The viability of this species is based on a rapid reproduction, large number and coherence of actions. Everyone else's soldier, warrior and fighter of the hive, is an autonomous mobile fighter, which outside the hive is guided by his genetic memory, is able to think, and highly developed instincts, the main of which is survival and self-preservation (transformed into a desire to kill, clearing living space).
The life of a separate member of the community does not go into the calculation, but they are able to protect offspring and relatives with a huge zeal, only the main goal is important: survival of the species, so the instinct of self-preservation in the ulle does not work.
Stranger - very specialized organisms that have a high individual "margin of safety". They have highly organized nervous activity and are capable of self-study, but the accumulation of experience every individual is not essential, the main knowledge accumulates the entire population as a whole, transmitting them through genetic memory. Also, others are capable of thinking. Their actions are not based on alone instincts, others are able to think about the situation and find the most convenient way out of the situation.
A colony (hive) consists of a queen, warriors-hive (Pretorians), soldiers and drones. The queen lays eggs and manages the whole colony. The method of reproduction: somatic parthenogenesis (the body develops without fertilization, from the diploid cell with a double set of chromosomes). Pretorian - a specialized soldier, guarding the Queen of Hiles.
The fact that the queen is reasonable - no doubt, otherwise she could not control the hive. Next, if you look at the games - Pretorians may be quite reasonable. Some other strangers manifests the root root. They begin to allocate special pheromones that lead to the fury. The future Pretorian is forced to escape from the hive, if you want to live.
The rest of the soldiers is entrusted with protection and hunting, expanding residential space, construction of the nest, picking food, feeding the queen and care for eggs.
These individuals do not have a reproductive function. Space-drone in the absence of a queen can postpone eggs.
The queen is the largest individual in the colony (several times more ordinary alien).
Its external exoskeleton is so durable that the standard 10-mm weapon does not break it. Unlike constantly changing soldiers, the appearance of the queen remains almost unchanged: the head is decorated with a huge combidal "crown" turning into the head cover, the presence of additional limbs on the chest, but its main feature is the presence of umbilical cord eggs.
This translucent biopolymer bag filled with eggs is so huge that because of him, the queen cannot move independently and therefore it is in the "cradle" - a kind of hammock from salivary threads and strips of a biopolymer resin that supports the Queen and her eggland in suspended. Nevertheless, the queen can break the umbilical umbilical eggs and move independently, but after that it is no longer able to fulfill its purpose (continuation of the kind) and it is not known how much after that she can live.
However, as the plot of Aliens Versus Predator (2010), the Queen not only can live a long time enough, but also capable of creating a new "uterus".
Among other things, the game shows Alien VS Predator (2010), as ordinary drone soldier, after a certain period of time mutated to the queen. This fact can be explained by the fact that at the expense of long life and permanent nutrition in the form of human meat, someone else's soldier was able to refine the transformation process.
Beehive (Hive)
The jack of xenomorphs is very difficult to describe. Live material, which forms an uleer is very sensitive and in its properties resembles the web of the earth spider. How it appears the Will is unknown, but there is an assumption that xenomorphs are able to allocate a special biomass from their mouth, which then begins to grow and turns into an effort. There is also an assumption that the "roots" begin to grow out of the queen of eggs, which turn into an effort. If you touch Ulya, then he will "shudder." A person will not be able to feel it, but it is all xenomorphs who come into contact with the streets will feel this and will suffer to the epicenter of irritation.
Life cycle
In the egg for 2 terrestrial clock, the larva is formed. The larva is biologically still connected to the egg, and it turns out that they are one whole creation. The larva feels, everything that happens around the egg, thanks to different receptors. The egg feels warm, movement, sound, temperature and all this transmits the larva. In case of approaching the egg of a living organism, the larva feels it and orders the egg "open". At this point, the larva tears his biological connection with the egg, in order to instantly strike his blow.
Lyinglasp has long joint limbs and an even longer muscular tail intended for moving, capturing the future carrier and hold the body of the licking near the mouth of the victim. When the licycle detects the future carrier, he pounces on the face of the victim.
He jumps on the body and imparts to him (most often) into the respiratory tract "tube", and "fingers" and tail, rather rude and unceremoniously fixes himself on the body and wrapped the tail around the neck of the victim. Through the tube larva introduces special chemicals that introduce the body to whom. When it is achieved, then the larva via the same tube introduces a special "biological porridge", which is later converted into the embryo. Lyingup is able to maintain the life of the carrier so that the embryo does not die.
Having postponed the embryo, the licycle dies, and the vital processes of the carrier return to normal. During the development of the carrier, the embryo receives genetic information that affects the further development of xenomorph (for example, if the carrier was four-legged, it will not be engaged in someone else). If this is the queen embryo, then the development in the body of the carrier takes longer.
After ripening, the embryo is selected from the body of the carrier (in humanoid creatures - through the chest), and the carrier dies.
Announced someone else's in a few hours reaches the magnitude of 2-3 meters, as it grows, dropping "milk skin". The main task of someone else is the delivery of food and new carriers for the queen. He also participates in the construction of the Queen's nest.
Structure
A stranger is a two-legged spinning part that can quickly move on four limbs, its body consists of both organic and inorganic compounds and is a synthesis of silicon-metal and carbon structure. The external exoskeleton consists of polarized organic silicates, silicate cells have metal in the associated state. In addition to the external exoskeleton there is an internal bone structure.
It was noticed that not all xenomorphs are the same. This was explained by the fact that when the embryo takes over the best quality of the owner, it affects his physical development. If the embryo grow in man, xenomorph will increase with the tendency to walk directly and grows with human-like physique (these xenomorphs can be seen in the first, second and fourth parts of the film). There were cases when the larva spoiled to the earth's dog. As a result, xenomorph grew up with a tendency to walk on all fours, the structure strongly resembles a dog and its speed exceeds the speed of xenomorph of the person appeared.
What is the reason: the difference in the chemical structure of the body of the carrier or its biological species, in size or habitat - is definitely not known.
The elongated head, covered with a bone helmet shell, resembles a hammer and breaks through the stupid shield of the forehead, passing into the tooth mouth, inside which is hidden a movable ribbed piston with an internal mouth jaws, extending for about 60 centimeters.
The second mouth, a very remarkable part of xenomorph, but practically meaningless. This mouth largely performs the standard functions of the human language. However, it is very good for destroying food. This mouth actually "pulls out with the root" everything for what will grab. It is known that the language is the strongest part of the body (in man too). But in the case of xenomorph, it is simply immeasurably strong.
The chest protect the outer ribs that converge on the back, forming a segmental shell, from which four corrugated pipes of curved trachemetes come out - respiratory organs. Shoulders, forearms, hips and lower legs are covered with protective ribbed plates.
A long vertebral tail with a spear tip serves as a counterweight, helping to coordinate the accuracy of movements and quickly change the running directions, while being a weapon used to introduce paralyzing neurotoxin into the victim's body.
According to the inner structure, others are similar to insects. These creatures refer to conditional anaerobam (organisms capable of carrying no oxygen).
Energy supply of two types: Bacteria live in the body that can ferment amino acids, sugar and fatty acids, in the presence of oxygen, oxidation goes along the usual scheme, through the trachea. The exchange products are discovered in the intestine, where water absorption occurs, and dehydrated allocation products are displayed out.
Food diet: Most of animal protein compounds that can be swallowed. Accelerated metabolism contributes to the rapid regeneration of the entire body.
Other people do not have a single center of the entire nervous system - their nervous system has a nodular type. Only a complex of senses from which nerve trunks are deployed, which converge into a number of large nerve nodes under the most protected silicon-metal parts of the body parts, therefore, even with the defeat of one of the nerve knots, someone else remains efficient. The bulk of neurons is concentrated in these nodes related to each other, the largest node located in the head is an analogue of the brain. Communication in the nodal nervous system is rigidly fixed, instead of synapses - direct innervation, it gives a gain in the speed and accuracy of responses.
Unlike the Queen, which has a more developed intelligence, the intelligence of an ordinary alien, although the animal is superior to the animal, but is inferior to human (is about primates), but the amazing adaptation ability, highly developed instincts and the ability to mimicry gives it an indisputable advantage in the fight.
Life expectancy
Stranch - creatures of the natural evolution created for the fight. They were formed in such conditions in which individual individuals are dying very quickly, almost immediately after birth. That is why such a race was formed - with excellent battle qualities, which allowed a separate individual to stretch at least a little more. All the physiology of others, including the mechanism of aging, is aimed at this. Cells definitely have their own margin of safety, but they can update it, rejuvenating. The effectiveness of this process is close to 100%. The cell itself lives for a very long time - it is necessary in order to somehow slowly exhausted this margin of safety, especially in conditions when there is no food. Accordingly, the combination of a long-term cell life process and extremely effective rejuvenation gives a stranger, in favorable conditions (that is, not in cases where they have to fight and die) an incredibly long life cycle, possibly comparable to the planets with geological age, that is, measured by hundreds of millions years.
However, it should be remembered that at more or less favorable conditions for reproduction, the number of other people grows very quickly, respectively, food becomes less and less. Therefore, there is probably some mechanism that supports the number of others at a certain level. One of these mechanisms may be the conscious destruction of the queen of their own fighters (not personally, of course, but through other fighters). So immortality is a relative thing.
Biochemistry
The blood system is unlocked: the heart with holes sucks blood (in other people's acid), which is between the organs, and pushes it along the vessels to various parts of the body, where it is pushed into the gap between the organs. Lithic blood enzymes (in this case - acid) turn it into an organic high molecular weight sulfonic acid - real antifreeze, which allows xenomorphs not to be afraid of low temperatures. This substance is a unique absorbent, it is very toxic and even at low concentration kills any infection. After the death of the creature, acid blood fills the space between the cells, entering into the reaction with the intercellular fluid and neutralizing, partially oxidizes some tissues.
Blood is a very interesting aspect of xenomorph. It contains strong acid elements that are still uneasy to man. They are so strong that they can burn through clothes, metal, concrete, steel anything, except for the skeleton of the xenomorph itself. We explained this unique feature as follows: Race pilots created unique protection for xenomorph, and during a strong shootout, when blood flies in all directions and falls on neighboring xenomorphs, nothing will happen to them. Also, acid blood is explained as follows: Pilots were afraid that some kind of race would try to create his xenomorphs. But for this, they need to explore the DNA xenomorph, which is contained in any part of the body of creation and in the blood itself. But due to the dangerous level of acids in the blood, it cannot be assembled in any container, and cut off part of the body, the same is unlikely to be crowned with success, because Blood can break out the fountain, exposing the dangers of all others. This blood is the perfect protective mechanism in all aspects.
The metabolic activity of others does not oppress almost under any environmental conditions except vacuum. The interstitial liquid is capable of absorbing the atmosphere of oxygen and nitrogen cells necessary for metabolism, separating the necessary components from any gas mixtures and to deliver their tissues, and the ability to control the internal pressure in a wide range helps for a long time to withstand even a space vacuum (its own internal pressure is equal to). He does not radiate heat, since the inner body temperature is equal to the ambient temperature, as a result of which is not visible in the infrared spectrum. Accordingly, it can survive in space.
The endocrine system consists of glands producing high-molecular blood acid, neurotoxic poison, biopolymer resin (for the construction of the nest) and pheromones. Toxin, entered in a stranger in the body of the victim, selectively paralyzes some functions of the bark and brain stem, completely immobilizing the victim. However, the poison does not affect the work of lungs, hearts and glands, but only sharply slows down.
Touch bodies
The whole smooth surface of the head is covered with receptors and helps xenomorph to see and feel right away. That is why it is called head-eye. Thanks to the casual shape of the head, xenomorph is able to see almost everything that happens around it.
Oriented by smells using a pheromone locator. There is also a vision (shown in the film "Alien 3"). Perceived electromagnetic radiation and use low-frequency ultrasound to navigate. It is not known what other people's vestibular apparatus, but they are able to dramatically change their position in all three planes, without losing orientations in space (moving around the ceiling, wall and semi).
Are you reasonable?
I think that we all asked a question for more than once - is there any mind among others. Now we will try to find out, based on the well-known facts of research of real events from films.
Thinking is a mental process separating instinct of pre-valuable action. Although xenomorph acts on a complex sample of instincts, it also demonstrates the ability to make decisions based on persistence. This ability in turn is based on the understanding of the environment and in cooperation with it. The ability to thinking is distinguished by the highest forms of life from the lower.
I found a lot of examples when xenomorph demonstrated my ability to think. The abbreviated list is shown in the Bulletin form to better designate individual cases:
Nostromo - 2122
As Ash registered (Chief Scientific Officer Nostromo), in the air intake pipes, an adult stranger played with Captain Dallas in the "cat-mouse" in such a manner, as if he knew that he was observed outside the search device. To avoid detection, xenomorph as a shadow followed Dallas, which ultimately impede the victim in panic and made her flee directly into the creatures of the creature.
An adult stranger seemed to wait for the assistant engineer Brett would be isolated from the rest of the crew to make an attack on him. It is possible however, that this is only a coincidence, and Brett randomly fell into the eyes of the creature.
When the chief engineer Parker and the Lambert navigator poisoned the cylinders with oxygen to run from the ship, somehow stood up between them - an effective position in which the creature could not be killed without harming another crew member. Parker was armed with flamethrower, but anyone of his attack would kill Lambert.
It was assumed that the presence of xenomorph in a rescue shoon after the destruction of the nostromo was not random. Perhaps xenomorph to some extent understood that he was dangerous, while remaining on the main ship, and therefore she was covered in the boat. However, some still believe that it is only a chandomous coincidence, and that the creature could not in any way know the appointment of shuttle, since it would have been a very high level of intelligence for this.
Commercial titanium Disney bought most of the Fox for $ 52.5 billion. Now the company Walt Disney owns half of modern gic culture, if not more. "Star Wars", the All Universe Marvel, "Predator", "Aliens" - this list can be continued for a very long time. But now I would like to focus on the "strangers".
As you know, there is a separate phenomenon - princess disney. Moreover, if you trace their evolution, it can be understood that the cultural and aesthetic criteria for the inclusion of various female characters in this pantheon are constantly changing. Moreover, the first call, oddly enough, became enough "ancient" Ariel.
The cartoon "Mermaid" was removed in the denunity of 1989: I suspect that some of our readers then existed only in the project. Especially for them we remind: in those distant times there were no ultra-modern feminism, and quite rigid criteria for women's beauty were determined once and for all. Simply put, the possibilities of going on one "strength" and "independence" was not available. Greeting cosmetics, silicone, good figure and spectacular clothes.
However, despite the cold, nasty, slippery fish Tail Ariel managed to get into the Pantheon Princesses! Then what is asked, an exoskeleton with a moderate amount is not very nasty mucus worse? Apparently, the next princess disney will be the Queen of others.
Here is a semi-official list of criteria for the events of the young Augusta special from Disney Wiki:
1. The character must be a man or a human-like being
2. The character should play a major role in one of the Disney / Pixar products
3. The character should appear in the first part, and not in the sequel
4. The character must be royal blood or by birth or marriage. In extreme cases for the formation of princesses, the accomplishment of acts of heroism is permissible
I must say that this list is encouraging. Queen of others perfectly passes through all four points, and here is detailed argumentation:
1. Thank you Ariel - the first "human-like being", who wrapped the path in Pantheon Princesses Disney. In this regard, the queen of others is not worse than a cute little mermaid. Four main limbs and even a head (well, and that, that a little harmer) are available, the straight can also be observed in several scenes - no one can blame the strong and independent xenomorph in the absence of humanity.
2. Under the terms of the transaction for 50+ billion dollars, the entire FOX back catalog also becomes the property of Walt Disney. So now "other people's", including old cult parts - this is the real "product disney", no worse than Mickey Mouse. And probably no one will deny that in addition to the Ripple itself, the Queen of Aliens is played in those kinocartines.
3. Recognize honestly is the most difficult point. However, possessing a sufficient share of quirkness can be argued. Yes, unfortunately, the queen of others appears only in Sicvel. However, someone postponed eggs in the very first, original Alien. And who, how is she not? So it can be argued that the Queen of Alien is invisibly present in the film from which it all began.
4. Here, on the contrary, everything is more than obvious. Monacle blood by birth? So there is, from one of her name it should, and do not look for any stupid prince. In addition, the heroic act, guaranteeing a warm place in Pantheon Princesses, was committed: the queen protects his little children from the peeled Homo Sapiens with pulse rifles, flamers and automatic machine guns. Well, isn't it nice?
Now let us return to the modern criteria for the selection of female characters for the role of the princess disney, and consider them on the example of two enough new individuals - Merida and Mulan. Both are no longer an personification of hopelessly obsolete concepts about female beauty: Cinderella Cinderella and Bell remained in a distant retrograde past.
But the princesses of our days can put a tagged head of the bow or chop the opponent of the rod. So the retractable second jaw, with the ease of punching carbon armor - this is not some kind of unnatural abomination, but just the necessary weapons of self-defense and independent woman in our unworthy world of dirty and unknown men.
In the Amusement Parks, Disney World Queen of others will look more than organic: it will hiss with young girls about happiness, while satisfied parents will photograph them. With such a princess, every girl, regardless of its appearance, will feel "enabled". In the sense of included, and not as an electrical appliance. And even someone will only try to judge the new princess on the basis of one appearance - today it will not pass!
Summarizing. Defenders of children, research researcher of new worlds, the person of royal blood, inspiring the personality from a distant magic country (from other planets), which is able to stand up for itself, despite the presence of the royal guard (soldiers-alien). If this is not the perfect sample of the modern princess Disney, it is already incomprehensible who else could claim this responsible role.
Condor managed to learn all the weak and good sides of a young queen in a few days. It was not so difficult to teach her, the main thing is not to take physical strength, that is, violence. The leader was pleased with himself, but still a worm worm was sitting in it, who still did not trust the stupid Caine Amidhe. While the old uterus put the eggs, then the young gladly studied the behavior and his teachings through a spider. Condor surprised her curiosity and quick training.
The leader stroked the crest of a young queen, and she shouted in response.
"We need to call you, but we do not give the names of Cainand Amidha ..." "Predator thought.
The queen with curiosity stared at the predator and at the same time opened the mouth of which fell out the length of the long-split on the end of the tongue.
- So. I will call you Mandeus, which means the top.
Mandela nodded in response and licked the hunter with his viscous the days. Condor noticed that the Queen of the Caine Amedeha hung over him and his tail was covered around his body. She was still satisfied with grinning over him. The uterus released Condor from his slippery hugs when he heard someone's steps. Jaut's farewell stroked the queen's comb and came out of her cell.
A few more days passed and Nira began to postpone the eggs, but that predator no longer appeared. Instead, mechanical beetles came, who carried her eggs into the unknown.
Nira heard how old Queen was freed and dragged predators on chains from the wrap of the spacecraft of Man`das. The old uterus managed to cripple one jaut, and to kill three. But the most important thing was ruled by the entire operation to her naja. Several hours passed as a leader of predators came behind her. They tried to sow Mandela chains. The ringing of the OP of the chains and the screaming of the hunters was heard throughout the man` Dasa. Queen for the first time exhaled from his throat a stream of flame. A young uterus flew out of the cage of tackle on the chains of predators. Keeping on Mandeje someone sat down and it was Condor. Chains he managed to tie her mouth and was touched from the Royal Dangerous Tail. The leader shouted the team to predators, and the same tied the rear paws of the Nire chains. They jerked the chains and the queen fell on the floor, rolled and indignantly loudly displeased. Condor stroked around the ridge of the queen and tears from her, grabbed from one chain and pulled it to the exit from Man` Das.
Nira was sitting in the new close smelly cell. Straw was rotten and terribly smelled. There was noise, howl, screaming seemingly and screaming of unknown creatures. Weak light into the dark chamber made their way from the hatch and fell in the middle of the camera. Despite that outside was the terrible heat in the queen's chamber, it was pretty cool. Neither the rope nor the chain was kept Mandeje. She calmly lying on the rotten bedding and was quiet. Mandeus could not contact and find his guard. She captured the feeling of fear and despair, that she would always remain here. The smell of acid and yautical blood carried from one small window only.
She heard, saw death.
"Xenomorph CHRAND to a predator. Alien was waiting for death, since his rear paws were cut off the disk - weapons of hunters. Yelling and cheeky he reached the goal. He grabbed his predator foot with his fooling paws. Spear stuck in the back of someone else's. Breaking the ridge, spear reached other organs. The victim was defeated. The predator raised his defender of his defeated enemy and looked loudly, showing the other that he won.
Raised the gate and Pretorian came out in the arena. The battle was not on life, but to death. The hunter won. After that, a whole pack of xenomorphs came into the arena. 12 individuals of others were read on, but each individual was different from another. Two were warriors, five runners, three pipes are two pretorians.
The predator killed three roggers with a disk, and two kept away from the enemy and tried to avoid melee. Runners preferred to spit acid at a distance. Pretorians were repeated behind the runners and relied on the number of warriors and drone. The Guards of the Queen attacked the predator when he opened the rear. Guardians acted like this: hit and ran away.
Bottling the last drone on hot sand, the hunter threw a spear in a warrior. The weapon entered xenomorph as in the oil and nailed it to the ground. "
Screams of strangers were broadcast in the head of the Nira. She nuts evil, pain and again despair, that she could not do anything. Gul swaying throughout the arena - these were the joyful remuneration of caretakers behind the bloody spectacle. Soon all calmed down, except for animals left in the arena, dying under the scorching rays of two suns.
Xenomorph (lat. Xenomórph from Greek. Έένος - "Alien" and μορφή - "Form": "Alien form of life" or "Alien Lifeline") - a fantastic alien look from the film "Alien" and its continuation. History of image creation
Name
The script for the film "Alien" of 1979 was originally developed by Dan O'Bannon and Ronald Schusetta.
The name of the film was taken at the end of the creation of the script. O'Bannon was immediately rejected by the initial name of the film - "Star Beast", - but he could not come up with another name for his replacement. "I went through the names of the names, and they were all disgusting" - told O'Bannon in an interview, "how suddenly, this word" stranger "suddenly came out of the typewriter. "Alien" is a noun, adjective. " The word "strangers" was subsequently the name of the film and, accordingly, the name of the creation itself.
The term Xenomorph (from Greek. Ξενος - "alien" and μορφη - "Form") was first used in the film "Aliens", later - in the director version of "Alien 3". Widely used and video games expanded universe "Aliens".
On the DVD-edition of all four series "Aliens" indicated the Latin name Internecivus Raptus. The comic book has been given another Latin name - Linguafoeda Acheronsis - in honor of the LV-426 Planetoid Aheron, a gas giant satellite in the grid jet system, where these creatures were found on the legend of films about "Aliens".
The characters are also called someone else's "beetle", "creature", "monster", "beast", "dragon", etc.
Form
Initially, the image of someone else's, as well as the interiors found by astronauts, people of alien ships, created the Swiss artist Hans Rudolf Higer specializing in the "dark" subject. He also developed the appearance of an alien creature for a fantastic film "Space", which is largely very similar to someone else's.
Queen of others was already drawn by the director of the second film - James Cameron - together with the artist Stan Winston. Winston Studio created, especially for a film, foam model with full hydraulic control. It is this model that was filmed in almost all scenes of the film that demanded the presence of the queen in the frame. For this work, the film received the Oscar premium for the best visual effects. Only in the 2004 film "Alien against the Predator", computer simulation of running and a fight of the Queen was applied. In the film "Aliens", strangers depicted disguised acrobats and cascaders, copying the lizard gait.
Life cycle Egg
Royal Lying Chat is a little more, and can postpone two embryos: the first is the queen, and the second is simple, and then he dies.
Embryo
During development, the embryo receives genetic information from the carrier influencing the further development of xenomorph. The embryo itself has only two chromosomes, and the missing takes from the owner. This allows you to adapt to the environment. Cases of infection of other people, earthly animals, predators and cosmic jockeys are shown. As strangers feel like this, they do not touch the carriers. The development of a conventional embryo lasts about one and a half days, the Queen embryo - about a week. Embryo removal is impossible. Even surgically. The fact is that hitting the host, the embryo creates something like a placenta that connects to the carrier organs. When the embryo is removed, slow loss of organs of organs occurs, and as a result of this, the death of the carrier.
Grudol Ripe embryo is called "grudge", since it is chosen from the body of the carrier, having blurred to him in a chest (in man and other vertebrates), as a result of which the carrier dies. The size of the grudge is small, does not have limbs, however, in the film "Alien 3", the grudge was distinguished from the adult stage only the size. Covered with light skin. The queen's Grudoloma has a collar routine. Interestingly, the design of the creature proposed by the hyiger in this case was recognized as an unsuccessful, and the final image of the grudol was created by Ridley Scott and Roger Dicken. The main activity on this period of development is to search for shelter, eating food for rapid growth and development in an adult person. An adult sex is breastless, which consistent with a sufficient food, begins to develop rapidly, as the "dairy skin" drops several times and reaches a value of 2-3 meters in a few hours. At the end of the growth, the adult individual can be attributed to one of the varieties. The shell is usually dark color. In the films, adult individuals, not counting the "hybrid" varieties, always black. In the future, it is already much slower, the growing creature and the formation of his appearance continues.
Varieties
Soldiers and drums
They are imposed on protection and hunting, expanding residential space, the construction of the hive, the collection of food, feeding the queen and care for eggs. Under normal conditions, these individuals are not capable of reproduction, but in the absence of the queen can postpone from one to three eggs. Also, in the case of the death of the uterine, the ordinary alien can be a new queen and start putting the eggs as a full-fledged uterus.
Externally, the drone and soldiers are distinguished by sizes and head coating. The drums appear in the films "Alien", "Alien: Resurrection", "Alien against Predator", soldiers - in the films "Aliens" and "Aliens against the Predator: Requiem". In comics and computer games, there are several castes that differ in appearance and behavior.
Queen
Queen or uterus - the main and largest individual in the colony. The rest are unquestioned to her, even if it is worth it. Moves only on two big limbs. Its exoskeleton is so durable that the standard 10-mm kinetic weapon does not break it. Unlike constantly modified soldiers, from the moment of growing the appearance of the queen remains almost unchanged: the head is decorated with a huge combidal "crown", turning into the head cover, the presence of additional limbs on the chest, the presence of huge spikes on the back instead of small tubes for breathing, but her main Feature - the presence of umbilical cord eggs. This translucent biopolymer bag filled with eggs is so huge that because of him, the queen cannot move independently and therefore it is in the "cradle" - a kind of hammock made of salivary threads and strips of a biopolymer resin that supports the Queen and its eggland in a suspended state. However, in the case of the danger, the queen is able to break the umbilical umbilical cord and move on his own, after that, after some time, she can grow up a new eggwork and execute its purpose.
Also known is the fact mentioned in the books of Ridley Scott, that the adult queen, fully completing its development, has intelligence, superior to the usual human. Also, the sign of intelligence is visible in the film "Aliens". When Ellen Ripley first demonstrated the effect of flamethrower, and then sent the trunk to the pending queen eggs, then the queen understood her intention and to preserve them, ordered two soldiers who were going to attack Ripley, retreat. Another time the Queen understood the transport destination of the elevator, and then took advantage of them.
Runner
Runner is a four-legged form of someone else's, the result of the development of the embryo in the body of the animal. It is smaller and slightly faster than ordinary individuals, spits with acid, on the back not noticeable respiratory tubes. The first is shown in the film "Alien 3", where the carrier is a dog. In the ulle, thanks to its dexterity and speed, the runners play the role of scouts and food miners.
Clones Ripple.
From the remains of the deceased Ellen Ripley, infected with strangers, in the film "Alien: Resurrection" was cloned 8 times. Clones in varying degrees combined the properties of someone else's and human, and also possessed Ripley's memory and alien instincts. The first 6 clones were unwillingly or soon died. Clone No. 7 was destroyed at his own request clone number 8, which was completely humanoid and externally indistinguishable from this Ripley, was able to survive.
Newborn Newborn - a hybrid of man and someone else from the film "Alien: Resurrection."
As a result of the genetic intervention of people when creating a clone of the dead Ripley, infected by the queen of others, the cloned queen at some point stops laying the eggs and gives rise to a new creature. However, the newborn does not feel kinship with the queen and kills her, and Klon Ripley number 8 considers her mother.
The newborn is very different from ordinary individuals - it is larger, covered with translucent skin, has no tail. His short skull resembles human. Eyes, nose, teeth and tongue is also more human. It is quite clever and is capable of expressing the emotions of the Mimic.
Prosalien
Chooshoshir (from Predator - "Predator" and Alien - "Alien") - a special kind of someone else's, product development of an embryo in the body of a predator. They have both the features of ordinary strangers and some signs of a predator, for example, hurried and dreaded processes. For the first time I was depicted by the artist Dave Dorman in the illustration in 1992. Then became a character of books, comics and computer games. Later, in 2003 he appeared at the end of the film "Alien against the Predator", in the form of a bustler, and in the continuation of "other people's predator: Requiem" became an adult part. The film has the ability to directly implement the embryo into the human body, and in the amount of up to 4-5 pieces. The choshoshir is a kind of "shame" for the kind of predators, because he is a sign of victory in strangers over the predators and therefore for a predator who killed the flaky is a huge honor.
Praetorian
Pretorian - elite soldier hive. Pretorian many times more and stronger than someone else's drone and someone else's soldier, but less than the queen. When the population of the hive grows to a significant sizes, the queen chooses from among his subjects, who will become her personal guards - Pretorians. Having received "permission" for further development, future pretorians should leave the hive as soon as possible, otherwise they are confused by their bodies in the process of development begin to produce pheromones, annoying other strangers. During molting, Pretorians live separately from the community, getting food and avoiding meetings with the rest of xenomorphs. Most candidates for Pretorians die, but thus the best are selected. At the end of the molting, Pretorian returns to the beehive, becoming an intimate guard of the queen. Pretorian is no longer involved in the main life of the hive. Pretorians are either in the hive or in its surroundings. Praetorians develop only from soldiers, drone and sometimes runners. Chooshoshirs can also become a praetorian, an example of this is a fighter in the film "Aliens against the predator: Requiem". Physiology: Externally, Pretorian resembles a soldier who has grown 2 times. Such a monster has a huge force, a powerful horny cover and a higher intelligence. However, due to heavy armor, they cannot move along the walls and ceilings. Pretorians have the right to command the rest of others, arranging ambushes and the Western opponents.
Queen Mother
Various queen-mothers are the supreme leaders of all kinds of xenomorphs, other queens and the empress they obey them. Each Queen Mother manages its own species of other people, for example, black or red. Possess telepathy and empathia. They are distinguished by five spikes on the edge of the ridge instead of three, like ordinary queens.
Empress
The Empress appears in the games "Aliens Online" and "Aliens VS. Predator 2. Particularly large and ancient queen. Even stronger and alive. Perhaps the Queen in Aliens Versus Predator (2010) and Aliens: Infestation are also empress.
Cramp
This someone else is an developed shape of the runner. He has a huge head that he tall is all on his way. It is hard to kill him, since the head of this someone else plays the role and shield. Appears in Aliens Colonial Marines
Alien mutant
Foreign soldiers mutated as a result of a nuclear explosion on the LV-246. Absolutely blind. Focus on noise. Attack - self-supersion. Appears in Aliens Colonial Marines
Plur
Another kind of mutating strangers. Their heads are glowing in the dark. Spits with acid from a decent distance. Very fast. Appears in Aliens Colonial Marines
Underdeveloped Pretorian In essence, the same Pretorian just not fully developed. A distinctive feature is a head like a warrior. Only one individual is found. Only large-caliber weapons fit against him. Also, serious damage can strike hands - a forklift manipulator. Appears in Aliens Colonial Marines
Hive
To create a hive, a single licycle that has fallen into a populated area can be enough. After the xenomorph reaches the adult stage in the absence of the queen, it will turn first in Pretorian, then to the queen. Having found a suitable insulated area, as a rule, in the most warm place, and hungry, it will grow eggs and postponed the first eggs. The first lingles are either attacking the approaching, or leave the hive and will find media independently. Having annoyed xenomorphs, reaching an adult stage at freedom, will return to the hive, where they will be as a soldier and drone to feed the queen and take care of the eggs. From that moment on, the lingubats will not have to leave the hive, since adult individuals will deliver future carriers there. The structure of someone else's anatomy
The elongated head covered with a bone helmet shell, bursts with a stupid shield of the forehead, turning into a weak mouth, inside which is hidden in the inner jaw, extended by about 30-40 centimeters. The chest protect the outer ribs, which converge on the back, forming a segmental shell, from which four corrugated pipes of curved traches come out - respiratory organs. In the absence of a favorable environment, breathing and other important vital functions are translated into another position. All the necessary substances are obtained as a result of complex biochemical processes directly in the individual. Shoulders, forearms, hips and lower legs are covered with protective ribbed plates. A long vertebral tail with a spear tip serves as a counterweight, helping to coordinate the accuracy of movements and quickly change the running directions, while being a weapon used to introduce paralyzing neurotoxin into the victim's body. Also in movies, you can see how other people often use their tails as a "whip" with a pointed tip, which is very effective in combat on the close distance.
According to the inner structure, others are similar to insects. These creatures refer to optional anaerobam. Energy supply of two types: In the absence of oxygen, amino acids, sugar and fatty acids are fermented, in the presence of oxygen, oxidation goes along the usual scheme, through the trachea. The exchange products are discovered in the intestine, where water absorption occurs, and dehydrated allocation products are displayed out. Food diet: Most of animal protein compounds that can be swallowed. Accelerated metabolism contributes to the rapid regeneration of the entire body.
Other people do not have a single center of the entire nervous system - their nervous system has a nodular type. Only a complex of senses from which nerve trunks are deployed, which converge into a number of large nerve nodes under the most protected silicon-metal parts of the body parts, therefore, even with the defeat of one of the nerve knots, someone else is still resolved. The bulk of neurons is concentrated in these nodes related to each other, the largest node located in the head is an analogue of the brain. Communication in the nodal nervous system is rigidly fixed, instead of synapses - direct innervation, it gives a gain in the speed and accuracy of responses. Unlike the Queen with a more developed intelligence, intelligence of an ordinary alien, although the animal exceeds, but is inferior to the human (located approximately at the level of monkeys), however, the amazing adaptation ability, highly developed instincts and the ability to mimicry give it an indisputable advantage in the fight. Physiology
The blood system is unlocked: the heart with holes sucks blood between the organs, and pushes it along the vessels to various parts of the body, where it is pushed into the gap between the organs. Lithic blood enzymes turn it into an organic high molecular weight sulfonic acid - real antifreeze, which allows xenomorphs not to be afraid of low temperatures. This substance is a unique absorbent, it is very toxic and even at low concentration kills any infection. After the death of the creature, acid blood fills the space between the cells, entering into the reaction with the intercellular fluid and neutralizing, partially oxidizes some tissues.
The metabolic activity of others does not oppress almost under any environmental conditions. The interstitial fluid is capable of absorbing from the atmosphere of oxygen and nitrogen cells necessary for metabolism, separated from any gas mixtures the necessary components and delivered to their tissues, and the ability to control the internal pressure in a wide range helps for a long time to withstand even a cosmic vacuum. Accordingly, it can survive in space. He does not radiate heat, since the inner body temperature is equal to the ambient temperature, as a result of which someone else is not visible in the infrared spectrum.
The glands of the inner and external secretion produce high-molecular blood acid, neurotoxic poison-paralytic, biopolymer resin and pheromones. Toxin, entered in a stranger in the body of the victim, selectively paralyzes some functions of the bark and brain stem, completely immobilizing the victim. However, the poison does not affect the work of lungs, hearts and glands, but only sharply slows down. The poison applies only in some games. In the films, a hint for the presence of poison was only in the same scene in the film "Aliens", when the queen tried to hit the tail of Ripley in the working robot.
Sense organs Oriented by smells using a pheromone locator. Perceived electromagnetic radiation and use low-frequency ultrasound to navigate. It is not known what other people's vestibular apparatus, but they are able to drastically change their position in all three planes, without losing orientation in space. Someone else's easily distinguish androids from people and usually do not touch them.
Life expectancy
Life expectancy is unknown, but the age of some koroles reached many thousands of years, for example, the age of Queen Matriarch in the game "Aliens Versus Predator (2010)" is about 100,000 years. The age of soldiers can also be measured by millennia. Old strangers are distinguished by light gray color and less strength and speed. Relationship with other species
With predators
In the film "Alien: Resurrection" and the eponymous game and comic book, others were cloned by the military on the spacecraft "Auriga" (Auriga). In the game "Aliens Versus Predator", Wayland-Yutani Corporation used others to create security cyborgs, so-called xenoborgs and created hybrids of other people and predators. In the game "Aliens Versus Predator 2" Wayland-Yutani outlined strangers using defenseless colonists for this and explored them. In the comic "ALIENS: SACRIFICE" (Rus. Slage: Sacrifice) People once every two days left someone else's cloned child, and he did not touch them for it. In the comic "Aliens: Alchemy" (other people's: alchemy), strangers were the subject of a cult. In the comic book "Green Lantern Versus Aliens", Hal Jordan did not kill strangers, and, considering just animals, moved to the planet for my, which brought obvious trouble for the crew of the ship who had committed a forced landing.
Planets where they met foreign land
In the films "Alien against the Predator", "Slans against Predator: Requiem", "Batman: Tupik"
Many thousand years ago predators bred strangers in the temple located in Antarctica, and hunted them. When the situation came out from under control, the temple was destroyed.
Researchers in October 2004 accidentally woke out strangers in Antarctica. This was learned by predators, and three of them arrived in place. Queen managed to free himself, and she was fatally wounded the last of the predators, but she managed to drown in the ocean. The rest of the strangers were killed before.
The remains of the predator were taken to the ship of his relatives. On the ship I got brushed out of it. The ship suffers a wreck near a small town, and strangers frank it. To stop them, the city is destroyed by an atomic bomb.
Analogies of other people and actually existing animals
Externally, strangers are not like insects - this is the fruit of the artist's imagination. But their habits and social devices are borrowed from earthly colonial animals.
Arthropods as hard exterior covers drop down.
Termites are practically blind and prefer dark. The dwelling is built from its own secretions and utility material. Fuzhair leaves the nest at night at the species that do not build tunnels for their movement. Terms are capable of corrosion of metals. Their queen is not capable of moving independently, and the workers are fed.
The ants are similar to termites, but they are faster, stronger and have strong chitinous cover. Their organism produces formic acid that causes the opponent's muscle paralysis.
In the Bechle, the nebenogenesis is peculiar to the neutral matte, however, in this case, only drowned eggs appear from eggs. The jaws of the uterus are served, and the workers are smooth. Workers have a retractable language.
But the idea of \u200b\u200bthe inner pull-out jaw was actually borrowed from the Naad - larvae of dragonfly - which have a strongly elongated lower "lip", forming a grabbing organ - a mask. When capturing production, it is thrown forward, it covers his head at the bottom and / or from the sides. The "retractable" jaws, a little resembling jaws of someone else, also has a shark-house. Through the jaws and Mauren work.
Osa-Sfex paralyzes the nervous centers of their victim and leaves the egg. The hatched larva begins to eat a still insect. Riders lay an egg into the body of a live insect, and the larva eats it from the inside. Some insect eggs are capable of waiting for favorable conditions for a long time.
Many spiders wrap a cocoon victim.
Eusocial warehouse colonies, immunity to acids, cacototermia, the ability to survive with a lack of oxygen, insensitivity to pain, as well as sharp smells and tanging are characteristic of naked farms.
BDELLOIDEA travelers due to horizontal gene transfer receive genetic information from organisms that are powered by. This process allows them to do without sexual fertilization.
Scorpions during the hunt use a poisonous sting at the end of the "tail" if the victim is too strong to cope with it "in hand-to-hand".
Mole can make a subpople under the sacrifice located on the surface, and drag it underground.
Unlike fiction in nature there are no predators who would have eaten the victims of the same species that serves as the owner for the larvae of these predators.
