OvomorphMember0 XPApr-16-2013 6:36 PMI've seen a lot of distaste here for the term " Xenomorph". This name has been around for some 26 years, since James Cameron coined it in Aliens.
I understand that part of the problem is that Xenomorph isn't really a proper name, but an adjective. So what do all of you think? Any ideas as to what might be a better name for the beloved Xeno?48 Responses to Xeno-Schmeeno!
OvomorphMember40 XPApr-16-2013 7:02 PMHow about Incestivus Raptus, Linguafoeda Acheronsis or Biomechanical Nightmare? :D Plus I think the word Necro can also serve.
Anyway the Xenomoph not served by a chronological factor. See Shaw or another crew using that name would be a bad idea.
OvomorphMember0 XPApr-16-2013 7:12 PMYou know, Shambhala, I was kinda ambivalent about this but the more I think about it, the more I definitely don't want to hear Xenomorph in the sequel. Not that I think we will. How about this: The BIOLATOR.
Oh, I'm just full of fun today.OvomorphMember40 XPApr-16-2013 7:35 PMNow that name fits better with the Trilobite, :p joking. But I do not joke with Star Beast XD
OvomorphMember0 XPApr-16-2013 7:38 PMits xenomorph, nothing will ever change that. its interesting, iconic, makes sense, and like the term "space jockey" if you use it for such a long time, it will never change no matter how much you shove a new name into the movies. so why even bother trying? lol OvomorphMember0 XPApr-16-2013 7:40 PMnot that it would be in the next Prometheus. of course not that would be stupid. buts thats still what they will always be known as. 
FacehuggerMember357 XPApr-16-2013 7:49 PMNo harm in tryin, here's a latin one that seemed to fit (imo anyhow)
[i]silex rictus[/i]
Still needs a bit of work though.
FacehuggerMember357 XPApr-16-2013 8:04 PMOut of interest, one of the Greek to Latin translations for xenomorph is [i]allophylus forma[/i]
(just thought I'd mention that)
OvomorphMember0 XPApr-16-2013 9:30 PMI'll stick with alien organism....that's good enough for me.....OvomorphMember0 XPApr-16-2013 9:51 PMCraigmore you cut up! My uncle had Court of the Crimson King when I was a kid. Used to stare at that cover for hours. Schizoid Man scared me a bit.
Okay, how about: Macerator Oysterlips?OvomorphMember0 XPApr-16-2013 10:57 PMGreatest album cover ever...period.....and no comment....
OvomorphMember0 XPApr-17-2013 12:01 AMUltimate Survival :-) I have a pretty good idea of where it is. It's just down there, in the basement....
OvomorphMember0 XPApr-17-2013 12:04 AMOr a ultimate parasite :-) I have a pretty good idea of where it is. It's just down there, in the basement....
OvomorphMember0 XPApr-17-2013 1:38 AM[b]Giger Beast[/b] is the only name I'm truly comfortable with in that it relates to the 'original' [i]Star Beast[/i] script and it's by [i]Giger[/i] ONLY.
This forthcoming Gigerless-universe franchise i.e. Prometheus 2, 3, mini series ... wonder what [i]xeno design renaissance[/i] will show its referential head above the parapet.2013 sci-fi horror novels 'Custodian' and 'Tandem' available from Amazon, B&N, iTunes etc...
OvomorphMember0 XPApr-17-2013 5:57 AMxeno-schmeeno hahaaa,gonna keep it)) i like "bruno" one as well)) you guys are fun. and,yeah,for me they are just beasts or aliens,but that's good there are terms and classification,not a big fan of those slimies though-) xeno-schmeeno lol 
OvomorphMember0 XPApr-17-2013 2:54 PMxenomorph is fine by me since the films, comics and games always have xenomorph.
although others are named without xenomorph such as predaliens, praetorians and razor claws.
I like to call them as demons from the sky or as engineers would say experiment gone wrong. 
OvomorphMember1 XPApr-17-2013 6:11 PMHow about Mighty Morphin Power Alien?....No..okay. The Anunnaki were on the earth in those days--and also afterward--when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, mighty men of high reno
ChestbursterMember839 XPApr-17-2013 7:42 PMBruno has grown on me. Just like Bob and Cuddles did a while backNot a map, an invitation
OvomorphMember0 XPApr-17-2013 8:12 PMThank you Cuponator but I have to point out that unlike Bob and Cuddles, Bruno is a serious suggestion for an alternative to Xenomorph. For those still on the fence, may I suggest Brunomorph.OvomorphMember40 XPApr-17-2013 9:52 PMAnyway I'm a little tired of the word xenomorph but also we don't know if the sequel will have monsters (or the deacon, because it could be completely new creatures, who knows)OvomorphMember0 XPApr-17-2013 10:29 PMThe MORB. I know it sounds like NOOB but that's just a coincidence, I assure you. Heretofore I will refer to the Xeno as the MORB.OvomorphMember0 XPApr-17-2013 10:54 PMWhat's about Plaque ( xeno as an ultimate parasite) consumes everything what lives, and after that dye, and only its spores survive; waiting for another chance/host.
Still the xenomorph is my favorite name!! :-) I have a pretty good idea of where it is. It's just down there, in the basement....

OvomorphMember0 XPApr-18-2013 4:20 PMHey that Predator is playing chess with a MORB! The Predators name is Stinky.
OvomorphMember1 XPApr-22-2013 10:53 AMThe unknown, as we know, is far more terrifying than anything we could assign a name to.
This is why people so desperately feel a need to name and know everything. This is also why we fear death (because truthfully, no one knows, if we were certain there was a cloudy heaven waiting, well that wouldn't be scary at all)
This I why the creature is so much more effective when it remains nameless.
Xenomorph is a stupid title, it literally just means Alien, or 'Foreign Form'
I think ill stick with "that creature from Alien" or "The beast"
Xenomorph sounds like a bug infestation, which set the tone for the stupid Cameron follow-up.THETRICKISNOTMINDINGITHURTS
OvomorphMember0 XPApr-22-2013 11:45 AMI Personally can't think of anything more mysterious and frightening than MORB. The way everybody refuses to embrace it only proves that it's too frightening to even type on a keyboard. Good thing I have the courage to do this for you. MORB is the new BOO!!
NeomorphMember1566 XPJun-22-2013 1:04 PMBruno LOL....I call it Necronom ...It's more of a tip of the hat to H R Giger than anything else. Or Necromorph.
I do like the term Morb.
What about "Dickhead"?The poster was good though!
