H R Giger's Art

As part of the new Alien creature's life cycle Giger also created a 'Super" Facehugger, which was based on his old Facehugger design, but this new creature evolved from one of the first scripts that had the creature swimming, and so he visualised how it would movie, the fingers would retract, so that it would crawl just under the water's surface
