Proto-Xenomorph

The Proto-Xenomorph (Deacon) is a humanoid alien species that spawned on the planet LV-223 in the movie Prometheus. It bears many resemblances to the Xenomorph Alien from the Alien franchise.

It is speculated upon that the engineers may have helped the Deacon in its evolution between Prometheus and Alien, as the creature in Alien varies greatly from its LV-223 counterpart. It's also said that the engineers may have been involved in finishing the creation of the creature.

The Deacon is a humanoid creature that first spawned from an adult Trilobite attaching itself to and impregnating an Engineer host. The creature is speculated to be the earlier, less evolved creature seen in the film Alien.
