The Xenomorph Homeworld - Explained 

Now THAT's a planet you dust off of and nuke from orbit.

According to the books I've read when the humans wanted to capture a queen to raise an army of aliens of their own to take back the Earth, They prepared for everything assuming the aliens were the dominate species but when they sent in the android Marines they were slaughtered by other creatures that fed on the aliens, which proved that they were not the dominate predators of the food chain. Love your videos just thought I'd share that.

I refuse to comply with the Fox "canon" regarding David creating the xenomorphs...utter garbage. This is far more interesting.

I always wanted the Alien home world to be one giant Giger like planet. Take all his art, the backgrounds and his more landscape type stuff and turn it into a planet. It's makes me drool trying to imagine such a wonderfully bizarre, nightmarish and beautiful place.

Just blow the whole thing up. Get that death star up in here

I have an old alien comic that said they use their facehuggers on themselves when lacking a host. I still don't like the idea that the xenomorphs were created. I can remember in the early 80's thinking how terrifying it was to think how evolution shaped their design etc.

They actually show humanoid animals native to the world in one of the comics, they go unnamed, but are docile enough to be led into egg chambers by xeno warriors. Later on, there are actually xeno prime creatures shown who are capable of hunting and eating xenos.

yes, a film on the xenomorphic home world would be a good new idea.

Here's how I'd picture a Xenomorph homeworld. The planet is a vast humid thick-canopied jungle teeming with rivers, lakes, wetlands, marshes, swamps. The trees are tens of thousands of years old, with massive root systems deep in the earth. The planet is fetid in some parts, pristine and beautiful in others.... on the surface. Subterranean tunnels and caverns span hundreds of kilometers. No life-form larger than a bug dares venture near the cave entrances. Under the verdant surface, the deadly Xenomorphs and their Queen hibernate for hundreds of years. They have evolved a symbiotic relationship with the trees. With their roots reaching all the way down to the Xeno hives, the trees act as a vast sensor network. Eventually the day comes when the Queen "senses" through the tree roots, that her time has come. The Xenos awaken. The Xenos pour out of their holes like a swarm of locusts. They blanket the entire planet, cocooning any life forms deemed suitable for breeding, and killing others for food. From mountains to oceans to polar ice caps, nowhere is safe from their onslaught. Within months, all the larger life forms are destroyed, leaving only insects and small mammals. With that the Xenos turn on each other, thinning their numbers and ensuring only the strongest survive. Finally the Queen calls her children home. They return to their caverns, carrying the bodies of their dead. Those bodies, along with any remains from their grisly breeding process, are spread along the cave walls. They will quickly decompose and become a rich fertilizer for the trees. Then the Xenos go back to sleep for another hundred or thousand years. Eventually life on the surface will recover, and the cycle begins again. If a small crew visited the planet, they wouldn't suspect a thing. They might find the place quite charming even. But a larger expedition would not survive the night. Even if you nuked the planet from orbit, you could never be sure you got them all. Anyone got a Death Star to spare?

Seeing the xenomorph home world in an alien movie would be awesome

A film set on the Xenomorph homeworld would be cool and I think it would be a great idea

Steve Perry wrote a book called Earth Hive (1992), it's a good read with a part of the book set on the Alien home world, and didn't go over the top with Alien BS and actually focused on building good characters and character interactions... something that seems to be lacking these days. He followed it up with a couple more books, so if you can find them somewhere, I highly recommend them.

I would LOVE to see a movie about the Aliens homeworld.

i love the fact they have their own planet.

Yes sir I do believe that the Xenos always need a hosts There are other smaller predators on the planet that the Xenos capture and uses hosts To their Un- holy babies

Getting a lot of comments about Engineers creating Xenomorphs, and therefore no Homeworld. That is just incorrect with the evidence we've been shown in Alien and Prometheus. Inside the Engineers temple, Holloway discovers the mural, which depicts the Xenomorph life cycle. From what we know of the Black Goo, it is made to speed up the process of turning host into Xeno by removing facehuggers and eggs. The Space Jockey inside the Derelict had been dead for millions of years, so that couldn't have been a recent crash that occurred between Prometheus and Alien. Also according to the lore, there were different factions of Engineers engaged in a civil war in which the Xenos were used as weapons. This more than likely led to the Black Goo being created as the weapon to end the war because of how quickly it acted. More evidence can also be spotted in Prometheus when Fifield and Milburn stumble upon the dead Engineer corpses with their chest and heads exploded as if something burst out of them. Hopefully we'll find out in a couple months with the release of Alien Covenant, but as it stands, I believe Xenos have been around far longer than Engineers. ~ Nick

I truly believe that Wolf is the best predator ever.

I wonder hence Alien homeworld has an ocean are there any aquatic Xenomorphs.

dude how amazing is this? your channel is growing super fast... you have quality content , you have a steady voice which makes it pleasant to watch your vids. You actually know what you're talking about ! Glad i'm subbed, and i'm curious where your channel goes.

This channel slows my hunger between movies. Thanks for posting, great entertainment and keep it up!

It could be that the xenomorphs may impregnate themselves with the facehuggers when there is a lack of hosts. It might create a weaker xenomorph but one good enough to keep the species going.

It was a small book that came with a alien comic ,I hade one about 20years ago ,they lived on the planet with a queen would send out the troops out and they would bring back live pray ,kinda like a big human cow ,they would bring the pray into the hive and the eggs would open and impregnate the pray ,but they where not on top of the food chain,the hive got attacked buy another species looked like a pumpkin head horror monster,and they started to eat the aliens and steal the eggs for food ,after it all happens a space jocky found one egg in the ruins of battle and took it ,it hatched and got loose and took over the ship and crashed on a planet ,that's where segnier weaver respond to the call and starts the first movie. hopefully this help's

I don't understand so do the Xenomorphs are a native species from a planet or they are a bioweapon created by the engineers?

One thing that has bothered me in the comics and other xenomorph lore is this: The xenos have a humanoid shape because they gestated in humans and absorbed some of their dna. The xenos on the homeworld are the same classic design, yet they presumably did not have a humanoid host. In fact for the alien homeworld idea to work at all it seems like there would have to be some serious consideration of how they are the dominant predator on a planet as a parasite.

You know what would be interesting? A movie with a Xenomorph as a/the protagonist on their homeworld?

So nuke it from orbit?

Man's"indomitable spirit" makes HUMANITY(with all its faults and frailties)the "bad boyz"of the universe,bar none.MAN adapts,improvises,and over comes ALL except its self !

Love how I thought the story was only limited to the movies but there is actually a comic and whole story

I hope that Ridley Scott honors the idea of Aliens predating the Engineers, but in "Aliens: Covenant" it doesn't look like it. It looks like David creates the Aliens, and also creates the whole Alien Queen thing. But who knows? One piece of speculation could be that the Paradise planet in "Covenant" *becomes* the Alien homeworld as a result of David's actions. But it's true that this would be in conflict with the murals seen in "Prometheus". Let's hope they come up with some consistent answers instead of leaving us with gaping plot holes and contradictions.

Engineer: Dang these roaches. Got their eggs all over the walls.

I loved the movie aliens and haven't dived into any other media involving xenomorphs, so thank you for these vids man :)

Xenomorph Prime? Wow, seems like someone used all his creativity to make up the best name possible.

I feel like the story of Ripley should end on the Xenomorph home world, it seems fitting after everything that's happened.

The one thing I don't get is how can an essentially parasitic species be the dominant species on a planet. How can the xenomorph species effectively reproduce without enough hosts?

thank you findly i have been looking for a video of this topic

Awesome video !

They should make an AVP TV series or Netflix series !

Has anyone noticed that in each Alien movie, the Xeno's were provoked into attacking? First off, face huggers are mindless and just carry out a single function. In Alien the moment the Xeno was born many of the crew wanted to kill it, even proceeded to attempt to hunt it down. Hell, even in the shuttle it didn't attack Ripley outright until she provoked it. Aliens, the Colonial Marines got well into the hive and were only attacked after killing a new born. Alien 3, a prison planet filled with psychopaths. Some of which attempted to rape and cause harm to the host of the queen, then proceeded to try and hunt it down. Alien Resurrection, the Xenomorphs were brutally tortured and experimented on. Any sentient being would be pissed off enough to fight back. So who is the true monster in the Alien franchise? Them or us?

Yes!!! We need to know how xenomorphs can reproduce without hosts, it would explain so much!!!

I think the walls in the Xenomorphs caves might be the way they repdroduce, if the Xenomorphs just need flesh and a safe spot to grow then that could be what it is used for if no hosts are around, maybe a queen makes a special spot on the wall for the face hugger to leap on and implant its embryo into it.

so basically the xenos are the apex predators of the home planet, kinda like ants being one of the apex predators in the bug world

there's no way there's a Zenomorph "homeworld", because they would have killed everything on it and made it all Zenomorph, then slowly died off.

this has answers so many questions

I just chili-con-carnival farted and destroyed a Xeno hive "in a vapor cloud the size of Nebraska🍕" " Did I do good?" Lol

Except 6 killed everyone, on the ship. And I would love to see a Aliens vs Predator 2010 sequel with red xenomorphs, and 6, Dark, and Rookie.

You should have gone into some detail about the other species that are native to Xenomorph Prime.

INTRESTING I DIDNT EVEN KNOW PEOPLE LIKE U WHO DO THIS METAPHOR THEORIES... VERY GOOD IMAGINATION, MORE PLEASE

Exposition stories are always fascinating I'm for a big YES

Can u talk a bit about that "supreme" queen?

Welp, now that the Covenant is out.... all of this is not valid anymore, i suppose.

I like the idea on Alien:Engineers where the aliens were a less powerful species found on the Zeta Reticuli system and modified into the Xenomorphs. In the Spaiths script the original facehugger is a molusk like being and the drone looks like a white and fleshy xenomorph

Well said Anthony Williams, well said!

What abour Aliens Book 1 from 1989? I guess it is a different story to where the franchise later went but that depicted the xenomorphs as evolving as part an ecosystem (a very hostile one) but being held in check by other predators on the planet. It was only they got removed from the balances of that ecosystem and exposed to humans that they became out of control, sort of an invasive species type story.

What I like to know about what are the other creatures just as dangerous as Xenomorph. I like to think that the Xenomorph are just like ants and another Creature feed on them, what would that look like and what size wold be

ABOUT TIME!

thanks for the explaination

I like to think a face hugger could breed with a facehugger in dire times... it's just not the fastest way cause your offing one facehugger with each alien.

All right I want to see what's species can survive on that planet because they must be really tough maybe even immune to some of the Xenos abilities. A species immune to impregnation or the acid blood?

Love your videos man. Could you remove the yellow strip at the bottom of your videos? I know it's a weird request, but I find that yellow strip a bit distracting at some times. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻

I sure would like to see one. Oh, and subbed.

Can You Do The Space Jockeys?

This question has nothing to do with the video but was there ever a war between the space jokeys and the predators

Yesssss I, would love a vid on their home world.

Since the queen lays eggs without mating it makes sense that the host serves to fertilize the embryo. Thus the mixing of features between the host and the xeno. The presence of the xeno does not seem to affect the health of the host. This suggests that it does not feed on the host or draw much in the way of nutrients from the host as it matures. In fact there is little to suggest the xenos feed at all as we think of feeding. It would also appear that a single xeno hatched at random, can become a queen in the absence of a queen. It then stands to reason that in the absence of a host species there would be a worker phase that needs no host to grow in. Any host would serve to make the resulting xenos a better fit for the world in which they live, but survival as a species would have to have a default version to kick start a hive. It would appear that the basic workers can construct the safe and sealed nursery as seen in the ship in Alien, and move the eggs into that nursery. The basic workers can also serve the queen and secure hosts for a new colony in other conditions. After which they are obsolete and soon die off. just my thoughts.

a film wound be awesome but what i would really like to see we be different kinds of aliens like the dog alien in alien 3

Whouldnt be cool if this planet apears at the end of the new trilogy precuels making David feel empty and meaningless or maybe inspired and looking for new specimens for its experiments?

Ah I love alien and predator lore

I love it bro

0:05 is that queen in Japan?

I really really hate the idea of an Alien Homeworld, it just don't make much sense. How the hell an creature evolve to have acid for blood on its own, and who would be the predator for that to be needed... It just don't make much sense to me.

Great video, very interesting. Another subject that I personally would like to see covered is how Xenomorphs travel the universe. Doesn't seem that they have their own craft so are they basically towed around by space jockeys or is a biological host needed to bring it with them on their own ship? I'm sure there's a mixture and good number of ways they do this but that's exactly why I would love to see it covered! Anyway I liked and subbed. Maybe give it a thought perhaps though? lol either way these are really informative and bring an interesting angle to the franchise. keep it up!

I would very much like to see either a short film about Xenomorph history. Like their origins sort of and how they evolved after the initial creation. What were their diet and habitat is like? Kinda like a National Geographic type of documentary about Xenomorphs. I wouldn't even care if it's animated. It would just serve to kinda catch some of us up with what's going on in the Alien Universe.

Ok iv been wondering how they make xenomorphs without a queen

In the Alien Cinematic Universe we know that there is no "home planet" of the xenomorph because "SPOILERS FOR COVENANT" David made the xenomorph, at least that's what the director, Ridley Scott said word for word in an interview. From the prior movie Prometheous we see that xenomorphs, (or at least some type of morphs/Decon,Proto,Neo,Trilobite) where around BEFORE David but he experimented with the black goo to, in his mind, perfected the morphs into the xenomorph, hence created no home world.

I've been waiting to see the Xenomorph homeworld since the early/mid 1990's when I saw Alien and Aliens because I was and still am fascinated by the particular alien form. I also once read somewhere about the Xeno homeworld and it explained that they were much more advanced than potrayed on film and had lots of means for their own technology and arcitecture. I could be very very wrong on that though. I really enjoyed this video and how it was explained because with what we know from Movies, games and comics there is definitely a Xenomorph home planet. Also if you go read up on the story about the Space Jockeys/Engineers the Xenomorphs and black goo were just a means of biochemical warfare from my understanding and the planet the goo was on was a terraformed game preserve more or less for the unstable Xenomorph weapons.

There's a series of books by Steve Perry I've read about Aliens, one of which includes a trip to the home planet. They include Engineers and the Aliens get to Earth and bugger things up pretty well.

David created the xenos

is their anything about predators homeworld?

Very fun video

I still cant understand the secret behind the space jockey. In Nintendo's Alien game, there is a boss named "Space Jockey" that look like octopus thingy. Is there any chance to see the monster in Alien Covenant?

i dont reckon Xenomorphs have a homeworld...like insects they thrive were they can breed and eat..when given a chance.

Xenomorphs require hosts to reproduce...so what natural environment do you propose could sustain such a food-chain? Such an ecosystem would need host species that could out-reproduce the xenomorphs at the very least 1x2 ratio, two offspring for every loss - But considering it only takes hours from facehugger to chestburster... Also, if xenomorphs can birth from any species dont you think this proposed ecosystem would soon be overrun or atleast have a skewed predator-to-prey ratio?

Awesome video hell yes make a movie

AWesome video

I’m confused. The Aliens have a homeworld? or They were created by the Engineers? or They were created by David?

GUYS LV223 and LV426 are both moons to Calpamos they orbit the same planet!!! Pls do a video on this

i remember one dark horse comic which featured the xenoworld. they were the dominant species, but not the most dangerous. they were being attacked by weird reptilian dragon type things. picking up the xenomorph drones and warrior and eating them. kinda like how some agressive fly species will hoover around ant hives waiting to pick one out.

I love this channel. Do you a video on SyFy movies that were supposed to be one but studio involvement changed it something horrible?

I want a pet Xenomorph... Anybody breaks in to my house they are gonna regret it

Is there a predator home world, if there is, can u explain there's

Dark Horse did a nice job theorizing about the alien lifecycle and homeworld back in the 80s.

I'd love to see the xenomorph home world.

I thought they were ingeneered

all of this is as canon as Star Trek novels. You honestly think Ridley Scott is going to use this shit for his next movies?

I was just thinking. It kind of good that the Alien canon takes you to the xeno homeworld, because if the Predator canon takes you to the planet. People would only believe the Predators created that world so they could hunt by planting the species there.

Yes I would love to see a alien Homeworld movie

seeing as how David seems to be the one perfecting the Xenomorph, this is wrong.

send nukes

I remember that comic, it was great
