Ah yes, just what I needed. I shall sleep soundly tonight.

0:25 facehuger: *It has a immobilized human, easy to capture*
Facehuger in AVP2: *You literally have to walk all around a space base to get a human*

The xeno at 0:11 displaying a maternal instinct by being so gentle with the egg was almost wholesome. Or maybe I need a therapist .

According to the current Alien expanded universe lore, what the Facehugger implants into a host isn’t quite an egg, but rather a mutagenic fluid called plagiarus praepotens; it basically hijacks the host’s cells, rewrites their genetic code like the black goo, and reconstructs the host’s tissue into a Chestburster (this is also ties in to their DNA reflex ability to copy their host’s body plan and traits to be better adapted to the environment they’re in).
At first I thought the canon explanation was kind of dumb because I thought shoving an egg or cancer down your throat was much scarier and threatening than a Prometheus tie-in, but I’ve put some thought into it and I realized plagiarus praepotens is akin to semen. The idea that Facehuggers are making hosts guzzle down essentially Xenomorph semen to become living eggs works just as well as the old ideas and ties in with Dan O’Bannon’s intention for the Xenomorphs to be symbolic of homosexual oral rape.

Fun fact: if a facehugger is hatched and is unable to find a host in a limited time, a chest burster will come out of them instead, said offspring will be exiled from the hive because of it's genetic impurities.

Human: Please, tell me when you're about to finish

I never knew that xenos carry their eggs around.

YouTube just recommended me this and I'm quite happy they did. Both of my parents were born in the 70's and my dad is a movie person so I was practically born on this franchise. Makes me happy to see people are keeping this series alive, keep drawing, you have talent.

Now the xenomorph has a cocoon stage between chestburster and grown xeno.

I’m so glad animators are finally getting the views and recognition they deserve on YouTube, animation isn’t easy so it’s great when your hard work pays off. Congrats on 2M views.

Just for everyone watching, there's actually three forms missing here: When a Drone transforms into a Praetorian, and then when the Praetorian transforms into a Queen, and when a Drone can utilize 'egg morphing' to convert biomass into Facehugger eggs in order to jumpstart a hive.

Every time I hear about how amazingly perfect Xenomorphs are by any character in the series, I’m just left going, “but...they’re *terrrribly* inefficient!”

The main question to ask: Is the Facehugger an entity by itself, or is it just a non-conscious vessel controlled by the embryo of the Xenomorph to acquire DNA and help it fully develop into its next stage?

The only part of this evolution I think is missing is after the tiny xenomorph has left the human host, it sheds a layer of skin before it starts growing, as shown in the original ALIEN movie.
Apart from that, this animation was great in showing all of the stages of the Xenomorph's birth.

Xenomorph: That's the end of the video. Any question, class?
Astartes: Can we begin our purging now?
Xenomorph: *scream in dial-up*

Damn good animation. All it needs now is a good sound profile.

What always bugged me about their life cycle was how little energy/biomass the chestburster got out of infesting someone, then somehow got enough out of it to rapidly grow into a human-sized drone.

It's fiction, but damn it was stupid. At least in the games, when you played a chestburster you had to eat several humans worth of meat before reaching adulthood.
