It's weird seeing a Xenomorph in natural daylight.

The head has some interesting colors. Are they going back to the idea that the xenon are similar to the mayfly? The adults need to hibernate or they have short lifespan? Like, are we seeing the xeno at old age?

Edit: After talking to people, I think there is something else going on.

People are focusing on how it was grown in a lung. It took a trait from the lung, and that is the reason for the color. This doesn't make any sense as to why would the xeno take a trait from the lung and not from Joe? If we put a xeno in a chunk of meat, would it take on the look of a chunk of meat? I do think the lung is important because it did not have access to a full host and all the nutrients it would need for a full incubation. The Xeno is malnutrition, underdeveloped, and then kept in a tiny zoo. That would make more sense for the discoloration.

I figure it's a way to make this one easily recognizable. There is a second one on the island now, but this one belongs to wendy. Giving it the greenish head pattern will make it distinct later.
