The Xenomorph life cycle is comparable in many ways to certain parasitoidal insects found on Earth, such as the wasps of the Chalcidoidea and Ichneumonoidea families, which lay their eggs on live prey that are then consumed by the hatching larvae. 3.1 Eggmorphing: The original life cycle.2.6 Stage VI: Praetorian, Crusher, Queen.Unlike the Red Xenomorphs from Aliens: Genocide (which this story seems to be inspired by, given the Xenomorph civil war), that were naturally-occuring Xenomorph mutants who came to be without the influence of a specific host, these white Xenomorphs relied entirely on these ‘bug’ hosts for how they came into existence - which isn’t too dissimilar to another line of Alien comics. These white bugs of LV-695 are the latest in a long line of Xenomorph hosts passing on their genetic traits to these alien parasites. That’s also why creatures such as the Predalien look different, as that’s a Xenomorph born from a Predator host. For instance, the Xenomorph as fans know them only look the way they do because of the genetic characteristics they picked up from human hosts. Xenomorphs’ DNA Reflex is a key aspect of their entire species, and it’s been established that a dominant gene picked up by certain hosts can carry over to the next Xenomorph Queen and her brood. While it is interesting to see Facehuggers infect their hosts in a new and horrific way, it’s a bit underwhelming that this exciting new Xenomorph strain came about exactly how everyone would have assumed.
