[QUOTE]Originally posted by TLE: [QB] Ok, this is something I used to have a very well drawn out structure for: Get ready, this'll be a bit unordered and patch worked. I can give a more detailed theory later. [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/biggrin.gif[/IMG] Ok, if you go by the books, their origin is still a mystery and only speculated. The Predators do use them for hunting, but they only discovered them, they didn't create or breed them to what they are today anymore than they bred humans for hunting. Their procreation is obviously bizzare but not unheard of here. Several insect species infect other insects with their eggs and those eat and grow out of the host. The use of a face-hugger as the transportation mode of the embryo of the aliens is a smart evolutionary move too. Instead of having the egg sit there waiting for a host, the embryo goes on the hunt for a host to use. This would help in a sparsely populated area. Of course the speed to which they grow is phenomenal. That would suggest they either have some other form of feeding (like they use some gas as a fuel, oxygen, nitrogen, something common) or they have to feed soon afterwards after using so much mass to grow (explaining their ferocious and messy eating habits [wouldn't you slaughter a pig if you were starving to death too? [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/wink.gif[/IMG]. Now onto the drones. Those are some tough fuckers we've seen, which suggests their homeworld is a tough and dangerous world. Imagine if they were only the equivalent of ants on their homeworld. How they exist and are structured, a Queen, drones/food gatherers, warriors and egg tenders suggests this as a possibility. It would make sense if they weren't the top of the food chain, they'd need some heavy armorment and protection against other predators. The hive itself is made of their secretions, suggesting again they use something less obvious to us as a fuel/food source. They may require only organic mass of some form, or they don't require food at all, only building materials (again much like bees, wasps or some ant species) to construct their hive and incubate their young. There's a few sites out there that better fully explain the species and life cycles. I'll look one of the best ones up and post it later. [/QB][/QUOTE]
