why are xenomorph heads so long now at
first glance we assume the reason is
just because they are some type of alien
but there's much more information that
can explain the shape of their head now
some studies done by a biological
research company called LaSalle bio
National had uncovered a lot of
information regarding the xenomorph the
company was only mentioned in a short
story from 2017 called empty-nest the
research found the xenomorph had sensory
structures all on the sides of their
extended skulls that were capable of
perceiving atmospheric sound vibrations
the shape of its skull also gives it a
wide field of hearing they also found it
can detect heat by highly sensitive
thermal reactive organs located behind
the skulls frontal plate more research
later uncovered special organs that
might aid and seeing other Xenomorphs
perhaps this is because the creature
does not emit any heat their bodies tend
to adapt to the temperature of their
environment later on they discovered
that the xenomorph was highly sensitive
to low intensity ultrasound pulses this
would immobilize the alien without
damaging them this would allow them to
continue studying the creature this
research would later lead the way to
creating the sound cannon weapon which
was used to disable the Xenomorphs now
another study conducted by dr. paula
church revealed that the xenomorph has a
psychic receiver organ at the front of
its head this would allow the alien to
pick up brainwaves and in turn it can
assess the physical characteristics of
another animal by seeing its subtle body
this then goes back to why the alien is
affected by electromagnetic fields this
also gives them the ability to see the
fear in an enemy dr. Paul church also
discovered that this organ was seemed to
rot away when an alien was kept in
captivity perhaps this means the alien
was meant to stay within the hive now
the xenomorph was also seen to be more
cautious when encountered a threat that
would stand up to them but for those
that were full of fear the alien would
kill them without hesitating it's also
possible that the xenomorph has a method
to pick up pheromones this could be a
reason why they attacked intruder
when they enter the hive the scent of
them is uncommon so they must protect
the hive this idea was also seen in the
comic books about the killer predators
when his pack of hunters would use
pheromones on the wrists gauntlet to
control the aliens this idea was also
shown in another comic book story about
a synthetic being modeled after a
xenomorph it was equipped with special
pheromones secreted that would allow to
infiltrate the hive but since the
Xenomorphs were sensitive to motion they
would eventually attack something that
is unknown to them the last bit of
information for the design of its head
is because it also carries an inner jaw
that can extend out of its mouth when
the inner jaw is not in use it lays deep
inside but it has powerful muscles that
give it an extreme amount of force to
push outward when attacking so that was
a look into some information on what the
xenomorph skull is so long if you
