![]() Not long after this, it was next seen as a fully mature adult. Overall, its growth rate was incredibly fast, as it could be seen visibly growing after only just emerging from its host. This appendage was capable of shooting from their mouth like a piston, with sufficient power to smash through bone and metal. Like the Xenomorph XX121, the Praetomorph possessed an inner pharyngeal jaw. Other than these differences, the Praetomorph greatly resembled a typical Xenomorph. The differences in the Stalker also extended to its Imp form, as well as the Facehugger to a lesser extent. The Praetomorph also had a thinner, sleeker tail ending in a small barb. The shoulders and dorsal spines were noticeably different, being smaller and narrower. They were considered more powerful and resilient than standard Xenomorphs, albeit less intelligent. Furthermore, the teeth of a Praetomorph were made of translucent bone rather than metal as seen in mainline Xenomorphs. ![]() Notably, it lacked any biomechanical features and its limbs were longer, thinner and skinless, with exposed muscles and blood vessels and gaps appearing in its armpits. While comparable to a Xenomorph Drone, an adult Praetomorph possessed several prominent differences that set it apart from its mainstream counterpart. Given time to escape, the Praetomorph broke out of the truck and attempted to return to the ship, when the second truck impaled the alien and sent it flying out of the Covenant to its death. However, the truck's deployment winch was jammed by a JCB skid-steer that broke loose of its moorings, and Daniels had Tennessee release a second truck to remove the blockage. Following this, the creature was lured to the Terraforming Bay by Daniels and Tennessee, where they trapped it inside one of the Terraforming Trucks and attempted to eject it. The already-mature Praetomorph roamed the ship and ambushed Ricks and Upworth while they showered together, killing them both. Daniels and pilot Tennessee headed to the medical ward and found Lopé dead with his chest burst open the Praeto-Facehugger from earlier had managed to impregnate him. Subsequently, ship computer MU-TH-UR contacted Daniels and informed her of an unidentified lifeform present on the ship. The crew took Lopé to the medical ward on the Covenant. ![]() Although it managed to get aboard and endured some serious injuries, it was duly defeated by chief terraformist Daniels. The Praetomorph pursued the crew of the Covenant and discovered them attempting to escape on its cargo lifter. The first Praetomorph attacking the USCSS Covenant's Cargo Lifter The alien then lunged on Cole and killed him. As Cole bandaged the wound, Lopé noticed an adult Praetomorph watching them from an overhead vent. Cole used a knife to cut it off, with the resulting acidic blood burning Lopé's cheek. During the ensuing chaos, the Praeto-Facehugger attacked Lopé and latched onto him. Cole found Oram's body, as well as another Praeto-Facehugger which ambushed them. Sergeant Lopé and Cole discovered the workshop in search of Oram. Sometime later, Oram awakened and had a brief discussion with David about their beliefs, when a Praetomorph Imp suddenly ripped its way out of Oram's chest, killing him. Oram was unaware of how they functioned until it was too late, as a Praeto-Facehugger leapt out of one and latched itself onto his face. David brought the captain further down, revealing a chamber filled with large eggs. After hijacking the USCSS Covenant, David transmitted the records of his experiments to the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, expressing the intent of continuing his experiments using the settlers and surviving crew and experimenting further to create a Queen.Īfter Covenant captain Oram shot down a Neomorph, an enraged David tricked the former into following him to his workshop where he had been experimenting on the pathogen. Over the course of a decade, David continued to perfect his designs until he created several Ovomorphs, which contained Praeto-Facehuggers that implanted two members of the Covenant's crew, who later birthed the first Praetomorphs. The Praetomorph was created by the android David 8's experiments using the Chemical A0-3959X.91 – 15 pathogen as a catalyst on tissue samples harvested from Elizabeth Shaw, deceased Engineers, and Neomorphs spawned from the native species of Planet 4.
