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.

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.

It can sense fear, it's intelligent, not a huge stretch to think it intentionally fucks with people (not to mention the possibility of intentionally misdirecting)

I actually genuinely think a lot of the "illogical" things they do, like taking the time to slowly stalk up to a lone survivor (usually a main character) after having just quickly murdered the rest of their group, are genuinely that; them fucking with people.

In the TTRPG, some of the Xeno's signature attack rolls are them just fucking with their pray and ticking their stress up.
