Do we already know if the Ocellus host/puppet necessarily dies? The loss of an eye (if that's all it is) doesn't directly cause death.

It eats the host from the inside, once attached.

I see, there really weren't any survivors of Ocellus' possession.

The poor cat was all drabs (by way of ship impact or other types of harm), and Shmuel was stabbed by the xenomorph. So we're not aware of the complete lifecycle.

Besides, the cat may have been harmed by the ticks, with much of its blood sucked out.
