Seriously, who wrote this page? It's filled with assumtions and ideas. It needs a cleanup.
- What assumptions do you mean?--Zervziel 22:24, March 16, 2010 (UTC)
Oh man.The author wrote scientifically, you unnamed user, he wrote all information and theories.And a theory is an idea of something that can be possible in reality, wich is scientific and theories help explain stuff.So, no cleanup!!!
someone needs to delete that warrior dome is the name for the normal warrior is AVP3 there is warrior, warrior dome and ridged. also ridged was NOT is ALIENS it was the normal warrior if u look closely you can see a diference from ridged and normal warriorSPARTAN-III leader 23:25, July 3, 2010 (UTC)
Rank
Ok me and my friend on XBL were talking about the ranks of aliens. This is what he thought. Warrior:the normal alien, they expand alien territory. Warrior Dome:they protect territory. Ridged:Probably warrior leaders. (Basically a squad leader) Praetorians:They guard the Queen and in the caste ranking a "princess". Just somethin i wanted to say.SPARTAN-III leader 15:02, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
ok, this is my idea:
warrior dome: young warrior (female and male)
normal warrior: adult warrior (female)
ridged warrior: adult warrior (male)
just an idea
______
as far as we know,the aliens besides the queen and praetorian are genderless.
in my view and probably others as well is that the warrior is a drone thats older and evolved more, jim cameron said that too.
so a dome head warrior/drone is a young one,the warrior is the older and the ridged...i wish doesn't exist because it came from that crap movie that messed up the alien life cycle and the aliens behavior, aliens are animals and are completely vicious,yet the predalien just stood by and waited for wolf to remove his mask. ~unregistered user~
- Aliens are not animals, they are alien's. Same as Predators, you don't call them animals, they areno more than aliens. We can't call them animals because, well they are alien!Zharksman (talk) (Contribs) 03:35, January 23, 2012 (UTC)
- Cool ideas, but just to clarify: these are different "looks" you can unlock in AVP 2010. "Warrior Dome" resembles the original design from Alien (1979), "Warrior" from Aliens (1986), and the "Ridged Variant" is from AVP:R (2007).

picture refrence
hi, i just wanted to know, where did that first alien come from...what movie as the fangs, either side of its mouth look odd, and it is labelled " mature warrior" but infact a queen is a mature warriror and queens don't have side fangs . 90.212.60.7 19:24, November 5, 2010 (UTC)
gender.
at the bottom of the page where the gallery is, there is a pic that says male xenomorph.As far as we know, all xenomorphs except the queen are genderless, first off they have no sexual organs and to have a gender is to have a purpose of mating and you can't mate unless you have the equipment and second, all xenomprhs beside the queen exists to only kill or capture hosts. 86.128.94.112 13:36, December 25, 2010 (UTC)
They got a women pregnant in alien labyrinth.
comics and games are non-canon, so whatever they can do in there doessn't matter compared to the film version and since the films came first and they matter, that little info doesn't at all, though you could put it in a list of things xenomorphs have done in expanded material 86.128.94.112 19:49, December 29, 2010 (UTC)
- Comics and game are canon until they contradict things in movies... Nothing in the movies really contradicts what I pointed out because we havnt seen a scenario were the above would need to happen.--WAVE 19:07, January 1, 2011 (UTC)
- Took the "Male" out. Sometimes a specific xenomorph character with a name/ "personality" is identified as a "she" or (rarely) a "he", but for the most part they're "it"s. The only "male" xenos we've seen so far have been created by mad scientists in a lab.---CadmiumX99 06:27, January 2, 2011 (UTC)
- thanks for removing that Cadmium, and wave, comics and games are not canon but there are some comics made to be a sequel or prequel to the movie (such as predators) and the movies have sort of contradicted what you said, the aliens always spread and propagate through implanting hosts and not knocking them up ( well at least not in the human way) and thats the only way we have seen so far and of course the new predalien way which is ridiculous but still uses chestbursters, while the movies have never said directly that alien warriors can't impregnate people, neither is it said they can. comics and games fall into the "expanded material" and "other media" type which are mostly if not completely non-canon until the true makers behind alien and predator like fox or whatever says its canon. 81.129.89.48 15:46, January 3, 2011 (UTC)
- The comics and games are canon, they are licensed Fox merchandise... Not only that but the creators of AvP 1 and AvP2 went out of there way to use the lore from the AvP universe, indicating that it is indeed canon, not only that but the mainline Aliens comics had characters cross over into Aliens vs Predator War.
I have red and played just about all the material and nothing I have seen has been contradicting. Actually the complement what is seen in the movies and makes them even more horrifying. (Note I except that the movie based games are not canon, but any of the games that are not a movie game are canon)--WAVE 23:29, January 3, 2011 (UTC)
then you're mistaken, they do contradict the movies sometimes, some comics have ripley,newt and hicks alive and in some comics the aliens have taken earth, but in Alien resurrection there is no mention of xenomorphs being on earth (if there was they wouldn't have needed to clone ripley). comic and games are not automatically canon and just because they are licenced doesn't mean squat. they need the licence to actually sell the stuff. the storyline and lore in each comic and games is different in each one.(some do share some lore and characters, its like when some people do fanfiction and they use the same "world" as another fanfiction writer did) and the movies came first so its obvious that the games and comics won't contradict the movies that much as they get the lore and info from the movies. games based off movies ore obviously non-canon but still have the fox logo.. i think (never did play avp requiem, i heard it was just as bad as the movie) but alien trilogy(not bad game) had the license as well but its still non-canon.81.129.89.48 15:58, January 4, 2011 (UTC)
- You guys are leaving out a whole range of stuff in between "canon" and "non-canon". Basically we could consider the movies "canon", the spin-off material as "mostly canon", and crossovers like Superman vs. Aliens and fanfiction "non-canon". For example, Wookieepedia uses "levels" of canon to describe the Star Wars Expanded Universe. It doesn’t have to be so black and white. Remember, there’s diehard ‘’Alien’’ fans who consider AVP to be totally non-canon. FYI, Dark Horse usually tries to keep the AVP comics universe consistent with the movies; see Alien vs. Predator: Thrill of the Hunt, and Aliens: The Female War.----CadmiumX99 16:47, January 4, 2011 (UTC)
- yes i remember a few comics based on AVP films. wasn't female war a remake of something else? i remember something about a few characters being changed. And yes i know dark horse tries to keep things somewhat consistent, as i said the movies came first so the comics will base info on what the movies had and then mix it with something new, and to be honest, i don't blame some for saying avp series is non-canon...they were crap films though the first one had potential, just needed more character development, more gore and not fast life cycles as no matter how alien these creatures are i doubt anything can grow that fast under or around 10 mins. 81.129.89.48 19:07, January 5, 2011 (UTC)
- Same can be said about the movies... actually this isn't the only canon war this franchises is involved with... There are lots of people that will say Aliens is non canon, let alone Alien 3, Alien Res. Anyways it is explained how and why Aliens change so fast in the novels and comics, Which at least Res and the Avp are based from, the Alien itself chooses when, how fast, how much it will change. They are not meant to seem natural at all. Even the two new movies are going to prove that. Its funny you think that aliens grow to fast because in some books that is exactly the same thing W.Y. scientist (at first) think about them as well. That is one reason lots of people thought that Riply was crazy... Until the company got clear details on the creature they assumed the one in Alien could have gotten no bigger than a small-med sized dog.--WAVE 22:05, January 5, 2011 (UTC)
- we know the movies are canon, though i have never met anyone who said aliens is non-canon (they must be crazy) though i can't blame them for saying alien 3 and alien res are non-canon, a lot of fans loved ripley,hicks and newt and didn't want them killed off (in the words of some: it was a slap in the face.) and as for alien res..well it was a bit far fetched and the alien life cycle rule (biped,quadrupedal) went out the window. though in the alien movies the growth is somewhat possible but the speed in the avp films was crazy. we can't really blame the way alien 3 turned out, there were production probems and lots of money was already spent and the director was brought in late and of course the nasty Fox bastards (pardon my language) kept interefering and tried to force their ideas into the film, in the end they re-worked it without the directors knowledge. i don't bother trying to know much about studios but isn't their part to just finance and maybe help get the film out?...and not interefer in the film's production. they did it in AVP as well, its the reason why there is no gore, they wanted a wider audience veiwing. As for this new prequel, i hear the space jockey is just a suit and it takes place 30 years before Alien..i hope the alines turn out to be natural creatures, as that would make them scarier.81.129.89.48 16:17, January 6, 2011 (UTC)
Varieties of Xenomorph, by Host
I don't think it's mentioned anywhere in this article, the phenomenon of taking on characteristics of the host species. The article describes the common warrior as if it's a set, standard phenotype. The standard black upright xenomorph is most commonly seen, as they're all bred from human stock. However, wasn't there a dog-bred alien in Alien 3? Not as canon, but there were also a line of toys around that time that featured warriors produced from several other terrestrial species. It has always been my undersatnding that taking traits from the host victim species was a clever adaptation and integral feature of the xenomorph species.

Human-spawned aliens usually are bipedal and humanoid-ish, though resurrection changed that a bit with the legs.
Warriors are in my view and a lot of others, drones that have matured and molted more. Dog alien was in alien 3, so yeah; it takes traits, the page you want is the Xenomorph (Alien) page which is more detailed with the alien's characteristics The Cruentus (talk) (Contribs) 16:31, June 11, 2012 (UTC)
Dorsal tubes
What fifth dorsal tube are they reffering to? I thought the Xenomorph warriors only had four dorsaltubes if someone coul post of a picture of this that would be great.Gorea Core-X (talk) (Contribs) 12:10, May 2, 2014 (UTC)
- The original Alien in the first film had a fifth, more spikey dorsal tube directly beneath the back of its head, although it's hard to spot in the film. The image I uploaded to the right is just a crude toy, but it shows you roughly where and what it is. Some of the creatures in Aliens and the video games don't have this fifth spine, probably because it gets in the way of the head when they're moving on all fours.--Leigh Burne (Talk) (Contribs) 12:31, May 2, 2014 (UTC)

Warrior Dome?
