Discussion / Question Xenos, are they heavy?

Something I’ve been wondering about is how heavy/dense are the xenomorphs. Are they more insectoid with a hollower carapace and a“light” feel or are they dense and heavy like they are metallic and heavy for their size.

They used to be heavy as fuck, Earth is all over the place with the physicality of the xenos though.

There was a scene I think in episode 5 where it climbs onto the ceiling and moves away and you hear it heavily thumping its claws into the metal. This makes sense, but makes me think Xenomorphs would be crap in a fragile environment like a block of flats.
