What's UNDER the HEAD DOME of the Xenomorph? - Alien Romulus

One of, if not the most distinguishing, and instantly recognisable features of the Xenomorphs, or Aliens as they are known, are their elongated heads. A detail of their design, which itself contains multiple other quirks that the Xenomorphs from Alien Romulus and other Alien movies like Alien and Aliens The shape of the head itself is a distinctive, elongated, cylindrical shape, but with no visible facial features other than their mouth. The carapace atop the head has been seen to vary, depending on the type, or caste of Xenomorph. Some have a smooth “dome”, which can be either translucent or opaque, and others have been seen to have a more solid, sturdy “ridged” head, made from the same material as the rest of their exoskeleton. For example, the main visual difference between the Drone and Warrior castes, is the type of head dome. A young Drone will have a “dome” style head, but as it ages and matures, parts of its exoskeleton will harden into tough, protective armour, mainly, the dome, and the Xenomorph will become a Warrior. Underneath, is the creature’s skull, which can be seen through the translucent dome, revealing a set of eye sockets, and a nose, looking very human-like. Behind the face, the structure extends far back and is around a metre in length. At the end of the movie Predator 2, a Xenomorph skull can be seen displayed in the trophy room of the Predators ship. At the time, this was just done for fun, but was one of the early things that inspired Alien vs Predator as a franchise. Located inside the mouth of the creature is the inner jaw, another iconic feature of the species, as well as its main weapon. The inner jaw is capable of extending up to half a meter from the creature's head, although typically it is used only at close quarters. The piston-like appendage is incredibly powerful, and capable of punching a hole through bone and even metal; striking force has been estimated at between 70-100PSI. The inner jaw is chiefly associated with the creature's signature method of killing — the "Headbite", whereby the jaw is used to pierce the victim's skull and destroy the brain within. However, the jaw is not only targeted at the victim's head, and has also been used to deliver fatal strikes against other sensitive areas of the body, including the neck and chest. Xenomorphs are commonly seen to pause before delivering a blow with the inner jaw; typically the creature will slowly peel back its lips and open its mouth, before the inner jaw suddenly shoots out with incredible speed. This process is accompanied by a rising hissing sound. A theory is that these actions indicate that it may be necessary for the Xenomorph to gradually build up in advance the potential energy required to propel the jaw with such devastating force, essentially “charging up” the attack. The proboscis upon which the inner jaw is located is prehensile, although for maximum effect it is locked straight and rigid when being used to deliver a blow. It is unclear if there is any biological function of the inner jaw other than as a means of attack. When comparing the tongue to animals with similar jaws on Earth, it seems possible it might play some role in the consumption of food, this is backed up by the part in AVP Requiem when one Xenomorph looks to be eating a dead person it had just killed minutes before. Although, as the dietary habits of the Xenomorphs have never been explored in depth, this remains speculative. On rare occasions, Xenomorphs have been seen to extend their inner jaw even when not attacking prey, and to do so with far less speed and force than is commonly associated with the proboscis. Again, the reasons for this are unclear. The inner jaw also does not appear to be permanently rigid organ — when Ripley 8 tore one from a deceased Cloned Xenomorph aboard the USM Auriga, it was flaccid; this would imply that the organ is only rigid when the creature is alive or, more likely, when it is used offensively. Thus the pause typically observed before the Xenomorph strikes with its inner jaw may be the creature tensing it for deadly effect. Some lifeforms created from the Black Goo also developed inner jaws, and similar mandibles, for example, the Deacon from the end of Prometheus, and the Neomorph from Alien covenant, had jaws similar to a Goblin Shark. The teeth of the Xenomorph are a metallic silver in colour, as part of their biomechanical appearance.
