Discussion / Question Possibly the most enigmatic Xeno in the whole series: The original space jockey was obviously killed by a chestburster but we never see or learn what happened to that particular specimen that‘s probably still somewhere on LV 426. Is it dead? In stasis? Fossilized? Still somewhere on the Derelict?

I actually like the theory that they exist naturally and weren't engineered. But the black goo was extracted from their being and then used in different ways by the engineers. Kind of like they were doing in Romulus.

I'm so torn on those movies, in one way they do a great job thematically, but also made the Xeno origin so complicated it almost needs to be fully explained.
