A Facehugger is the second stage of the Xenomorph's life cycle. Different facehugger types come in different shapes and sizes.

Appearance

Its bony finger-like legs allow it to crawl rapidly and its long spine-like tail can launch it in great distances. These particular appendages give them an appearance somewhat comparable to Chelicerata arthropods such as arachnids and horseshoe crabs.
