My theory about this thing is that it's the larval form of the Queen Alien. Like how the regular Aliens came from humans, this ugly creature was queen that started it all. Just my thoughts on it.

Frankly, I think this thing was scarier than the original xenomorph.

Why?,I would like to know your reasons

There was something extremely disturbing about its birth... It must have basically absorbed most of the Jockey's internal organs to grow that big inside him... His bursting was messy, bloody and visceral... The creature's design made it look kinda... I dunno... primordial? sickly and disabled, but still deadly? The way it looks around, confused... The lighting also adds to the overall creepiness of the scene.

I wasn't sure if that was supposed to be a xenomorph (the "Alien") or not. Was it?

quite frankly, using deductive reasoning and information from the movie, i think this is what the Engineers were planning to replace humans with. although it's jet black, eyeless, and has an elongated cranium with protruding jaws, this creature is more humanoid than the xenomorphs. it's skeletal structure, skin texture, and behavior are all similar to what a human would do if one suddenly woke up in the chest cavity of something else. (in terminator salvation, Marcus Wright had a similar reaction to waking up after being dead for 14 years). just saying, after all those centuries, i think the engineers had found a way to perfect their experiment they started all those years ago on that backwater planet.

Did you know Prometheus is the Prequel to Alien, Aliens, Alien 3, and Alien resurection? Jus' Saying.., but this is awesome..

Ridley Scott did say that this movie was really going to do nothing with the Alien Franchise, I haven't seen the movie yet but I heard that there is some mention of Weyland-Yutani. I think that it's not really an Alien that they've seen before, maybe something that was hiding. The origional maybe? There is a rumor going 'round hat this is the more intelligent version of the Xenomorph. Le

First of just by seeing the movie, you'll have a lot of questions answered. Weyland (pre-merger with Yutani) is the company in the film. It's not the same planet from the Alien series. Any rumors you heard are probably wrong. It's not a baby queen, there's nothing int he film to allude to that. This film, creatively, feels like the start of a prequel series to the Alien franchise, and if you look at the creature designs, they are rather primordial. Not as refined as the ones from the Alien series. Chances are, after a few generations of these monsters, they'll evolve/change/adapt. Just enjoy the film, and let Ridley Scott do his thing. Don't confuse a 'plot-hole', for an 'unanswered question'.

I'm sorry if I offended, I'm a big fan of the Alien Merchandise myself... I didn't mean to upset I was just voicing what I had heard online is all. No offense was to be taken.

I wasn't offended, this is one of the best Sci-Fi movies I have seen in a long time, and I just don't understand why it's getting more criticism than praise. Yet, Avengers was an average film, nothing special by today's standards, and all I hear is about how it's amazing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The Avengers was a good movie, and it was to criticize it was just something I'd heard Ridley Scott saying about the film is all.

I don't understand why people keep thinking it's a "proto-Xenomorph". When I saw it, I just thought it looked like a child Xenomorph, somewhere between the Chesburster and the Xenomorphs we've all come to know and love.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I agree. I think, based on the design of the mouths, that it's the queen as a baby. Sure, this looks almost nothing like her, but most animals don't look like adults when they're babies. So she spends the next few hundred years alone, laying eggs and... dwelling somewhere else while the events in Alien go on. I think they say Proto, because this is what comes before all the other xenomorphs, unless I'm misunderstanding the term "proto-xenomorph".

I have a different idea. Prometheus happened on a different planet (LV-223) from Alien (LV-426), but was possibly the same star system. I think the engineers were creating bio weapons en-mass and the ones on LV-426 are simply a different iteration of experiments. The creatures we see in Prometheus have a lot of similar characteristics to Alien but the specifics are different. Like how a Chevy has all the same basic components as a Toyota, yet the two are different cars. Just different versions of the same thing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Interesting idea. Taking what you're saying into consideration, it's possible that the engineers in Alien possibly had the same goal and carried the same cargo. (That being their biological weapon to use on us.) Cause like the captain said, it's used to kill so it's a weapon. But it also creates, so maybe, they wanted to kill us and create a new species and see how they go, much like they watched us evolve. We're like lab rats to them, and for some odd reason, they REALLY hate us. The surviving one killed almost everyone. It makes you wonder, why? I think it's because of our violent ways. But who knows? It could be something else. But if you think about it now, if it took place on a different planet, why set up everything for the events to lead up to Alien? That makes no sense, now that I think about it.

Well if you pay attention to that scene where David discovers the main control room the hologram seems to suggest they are targeting many worlds, not just earth. David at the end said there were in fact many ships, and if you look at the scene where the arrive on the planet there are actually a line of structures, only the first of which is ever explored.
"But if you think about it now, if it took place on a different planet, why set up everything for the events to lead up to Alien? That makes no sense, now that I think about it."
Yeah, that makes no sense to me either. This movie was advertised as a prequel to Alien and I left the theater quite confused and trying make many connections that I just couldn't. I read somewhere that this is just one of 3 Prometheus movies planed, so maybe the last one will neatly set up Alien.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I hope so. Cause once I found out this took place on a totally different planet than Alien, I actually shouted "WHAT?!" and everyone looked at me weird. Heh. But yes, sequels are planned so I can see how it doesn't exactly answer all the questions. Even one of the guys said they left questions open for the next movie to answer.

I don't think this one is the first. We see an image of one in the room with the vases and giant head statue which suggests that the Engineers have seen or are aware of them before the events of Prometheus.

Everyone says that, and I saw Prometheus for the second time, and I don't see ANYTHING that looks like the Aliens at all. But if it's indeed there, then it's possible that they know what the dark liquid will overall create. So by "first" I guess it can mean the one that laid the eggs for them to find in Alien. In fact, did you notice they scaled down the Engineers and that control room where the eggs are found? In Alien, it's HUGE. We're dwarfed next to it, but this movie makes it much smaller.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I thought the engineers still looked huge, especially when you see that one standing next to the people. Also, technically it is a different ship. We never see the ship that shows up in Alien so I guess either the ship in Alien could be bigger or the eggs are in a part of the ship we do not see in Prometheus. You see the alien as a relief sculpture against the back wall of that room. They show it twice. It is standing facing us with its head down so you see the elongated dome of its head, its chest, legs, and outspread arms and hands. It looks much more like the alien we are used to than the one at the end of Prometheus (though because it is is just a relief sculpture because of perspective you cannot see if it has those prongs on its back or a tail). So I say it is fairly safe to assume that they know what that black goo eventually produces. Also, I can't remember if it is the biologist or geologist that mentions that some of the bodies in that pile they encounter look like they exploded from the inside outward. Where have we heard that description before? The alien in the end could be the one that laid the eggs in Alien, but I think it is just as likely that it is not.

Oh that thing? Oh, I've seen that. And the engineers were big, yes, but compared to an average heighted human, the engineers weren't that much taller. David's head was up to his shoulder. But the engineer in the (now we know it's a command center) in Alien was HUGE and I mean HUGE. He looked like a GIANT.

Looks better than the one in the movie...
... at least in my humble opinion.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I agree. Looks better than in the movie
I wonder though, is this really a proto alien? I'm fairly sure you see an Alien queen shaped in the mural, as they change(for some reason), when the crew arrives in the main chamber with the big face and the goo starts leaking from those vases... (But I could be wrong.. Only seen it once).
I have SO many questions after seeing that movie...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I believe the goo somehow contains or is made from Xenomorph DNA, which happens to have this incredible recombinant properties and is therefore used as a tool for bioengineering. However, this DNA would have a really strong impulse to "recover" its original shape, infecting whoever is necesary and taking all the evolutionary steps it needs to become a pure xenomorph again. Perhaps, the thing in the mural is the pure form of the Xeno, and what we see in the Alien movies are incomplete hybrids.
Or maybe they just look similar but are unrelated creatures, I don't think even Ridley Scott knows for sure!

The Primitive Xeno...I wants one!

They probably just evolved over 90 years. It has been said that alien takes place at about 2179 while Prometheus took place from 2089-2093

AlienSSSSSSS takes place around 2179, Alien is in 2121 or 2123...

This is pretty cool work... and the way I felt after seeing this new version of the creature was that since it was hinted (by the pilot) that the 'engineer' aliens were breeding them as a sort of biological weapon, maybe this version is just an earlier adaptation of what would later become the classic Giger alien. Or maybe it was an early 'queen' type of alien that would end up laying eggs, which produce the face huggers, which in turn implant the 'hunter' alien embryos into hosts. I don't know... I'm just high.

Proto Xenomorph, sweet! 
Can't wait to see what Ridley Scott intends for this adorable little ball of death incarnate. Like what the explanation for it's absence from the original "Alien" is going to be. Where oh where did you go little Xenomorph?
It was also nice to see a movie involving the aliens that was actually freaky again like the first one was and not ridiculous mess like resurrection was. I swear the hammerpede and giant proto facehugger creeped me right the F out, I can still picture those tentacles. *shiver* I just wish the mutated human had looked better though, I mean why is it that the freaky black goo turns everything else into awesome looking super monsters and all it does to a human is make him look like the hills have eyes in space? I ask you, is that fair? I demand the right to become a freaky looking bug monster when exposed to extra-terrestrial mutagenic goo!
Man, can I go on a rant or what? XD

The thing is...the movie is in other planet,no the "Alien 1" planet
I read somewhere that it he weren't kill with fire,the man will actually turn on a alien-like thing
