‘Alien: Earth’: What are the 5 alien species onboard the ship?

One thing for which the extraterrestrial franchise is known is its range of creatures in a creative way. Alien: earth It is, of course, no exception, bringing famous (horrible LY) monsters of past films while adding new creatures (just as inducing) that we have never seen before.

As we discover in episode 1, there are five specimens aboard the condemned spacecraft Weyland-Yutani Uscss Maginot which reproduces on earth. So what are these extraterrestrials and what do we know about them so far?

1. Xenomorphic

If you saw StrangerYou already know everything about it. The main antagonist of the franchise, the xenomorph takes various forms in his life cycle: the hatching of an egg to lock himself on the face of a victim (Facehugger mode) and planting an egg inside, gesturing, then radiant with their chest (dear mode), and finally develop in the extraterrestrial at size full of the chest (Sigorney Sigorney) and Nosto Back.

2. Ticks

We see these wicked little ballooners in episode 1 sink into a dead rat in the laboratory aboard Maginot. It turns out to be a fairly horrible prefiguration of what they are capable of later in the episode, when they enter the prodigy soldiers that the Morrow Safety Head (Babou Cesesay) binds inside the spaceship after it crashes on earth. They seem to go for a vein, attach and suck their victim’s blood as a terrestrial tick.

3. FLICHES

We do not yet know too much about those we have seen in the first two episodes, but a winged version of everything that of the extraterrestrial universe cannot be good, right? Hopefully they are no exception to their containers.

4. Plant plants

The hybrids find a large disturbing plant clove suspended from the Maginot ceiling in episode 2.

“He comes in the form of a flora, but it may be the fauna,” said Kirsh (Timothy Olyphant), looking at the bulbous specimen. The thing is clearly aware of its environment also – after Kirsh wandered unfurl petals, producing a sort of stamina at the end of a tentacle that seems to examine the tootles (young kit). Ick.

5. T. Ocellus

Linking strongly for the first place of the podium “the most disgusting New Alien” is this little nightmare with eight legs, seen in episode 2 digging in the eye globe of the resident cat of the Maginot and resuscitating the poor creature before attacking our hybrid friends.

We have a little more information on it thanks to the computer terminal flickering in the laboratory of the slaughtered spaceship on which Kirsh plugs, which happens to be usefully open on a page on the mini Octopus.

“A smooth Solex has several eye iris and a tentacle system that can develop or retract at will”, reads the screen. “The tentacles carry an extraordinary force and are constructed to climb and dislodge the eyes of other living organisms. Once replaced in the orbit, T. Ocellus takes over the ocular channels of the brain, going beyond neuro-transmissions throughout the body. No more study necessary to assess the intelligence inherent, although the ocellus has shown to be the most measure humans.

We will continue to update this piece while we learn more about our specimens in the coming weeks …
