In "Alien", the creature that came forth from the egg (and thenceforth, Kane) on the Space Jockey's derelict was biomechanical in appearance.
Was this due to genetic engineering on the Space Jockey's home planet, or
It's due to the alien and the pilot being designed by the same guy :-)
One of the explanations is that the alien inherited some of the traits of the pilot.Which would mean that the Space Jockey race is possibly biomechanical, a la The Borg on "Star Trek".
No offence taken, but that really was just an idea.Glen A. RITCHIEAnimal Hour
due to being placed on the floor of the spacecraft for so long (hence, absorbing and imprinting itself with genetically useful characteristics from the vessel itself)?
No offense intended, but I really hate that idea.
(An idea which one might've read in a sci-fi pulp magazine from the 30s, as a way to explain the biomechanical appearance of the alien creature).
