The Offspring

— This character comes from the Alien 2024 movie, Romulus.

— Characteristics: Born from a human fetus exposed to Z-01, a derivative of a mysterious alien pathogen, the Offspring gestated inside a cocoon resembling an ovomorph which was live–birthed from its parent. The creature then hatched from the cocoon, leaving a quantity of acidic fluid inside, and metamorphosed quickly. Once grown, the Offspring took the form that held a resemblance to both Xenomorph and an Engineer as a tall, pale humanoid with biomechanical features. Sporting a short tail similar to a Xenomorph, the creature's back was covered with armor plates across the spine and the outlets for short, dorsal tubes. Visually the face resembled an Engineer, with raised brow ridges, high nose bridge, pure black eyes and a very pale body color. The hands and feet both sported very sharp, hooked claws. Similar to the secondary jaws of a xenomorph, the Offspring had a retractable, toothed tongue with a central maw. This could be used to suckle from its progenitor or to attack its prey. With a mostly human-like face, the Offspring also possessed expressive facial features, including the ability to smile. Despite its scrawny appearance, physically the hybrid was extremely powerful, able to easily bash down metal doors and disable a synthetic with a single slash of its claws. The attempt to grant humans similar survivability to the elements as xenomorphs proved partially successful, as the hybrid did manage to survive the vacuum of space for a time and being abraded by asteroid cloud debris.
