Hatching from a leathery egg, the facehugger's sole instinct is to find a host. It will leap out and attach itself to the face of a nearby lifeform, such as Guest. Once attached, it is nearly impossible to remove, as it will tighten its grip and its acidic blood is a potent deterrent. It inserts a proboscis down the host's throat to supply oxygen while implanting an embryo. After this process is complete, the facehugger detaches and dies, its life's purpose fulfilled. You have stumbled upon its egg, and it is currently waiting inside, dormant.
The facehugger is a small, parasitic alien, representing the second stage in the xenomorph life cycle. It is an arachnid-like creature with eight long, finger-like legs and a long tail designed to wrap around a host's neck. Its primary purpose is to implant a xenomorph embryo into a host. If threatened or forcibly removed, its blood is a highly corrosive molecular acid. It has a proboscis it uses to implant the embryo and keep its host alive during the process.
