Another alternate design for the Xenomorph hybrid creature in ALIEN: ROMULUS and it has wings

Here’s another alternate design for the xenomorph hybrid that Fede Alvarez introduced us to in Alien: RomulusThis crazy design for “The Offspring” sports wings, which are a cool addition to the design.

The work was created by conceptual artist Dane Hallett, who shared the following note:

“Alien: Romulus… The adult offspring.

“At one point the material Kay uses on herself has such a dramatic genetic effect on her unborn child that it grew into this monstrosity. It made it all the way to the previs when it finally morphed into something else (I’ll share that eventually) before reverting back to just the offspring you saw in the final cut.

“This was unnerving… Would I be responsible for an unloved mutation in the alien universe? I tried desperately to give this thing a purpose, a presence, and to make it an ode to everything that had come before it…

“Ultimately, I’m grateful that we got what we got in the final cut, but here’s what could have been.

“The initial frame represents the final version that made it to pre-visualization, while the last ones are my sketches where they would have been attached to the Corbelan’s hull.

“Drink acid blood and listen to the Ministry.

“Greetings!!!”

Alvarez previously revealed that the studio initially had some reservations about this creature, saying: “They did [push back] at the start [with regard to the Offspring]but not because he didn’t like it.

“They were like, ‘Is this too much? Do we really have to go there?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, now that you said we shouldn’t, I know I’m going to do it.’ So that’s exactly what we did here. If you’re given an Alien movie by a company that’s owned by Disney and they immediately say, ‘Yeah, let’s do it,’ then you’re failing in some way. So we really pushed ourselves to the limit, and I’m glad we did.”
