What Are the 5 New Alien Species From ALIEN: EARTH?

by

In the Alien series, the Xenomorph has been the sole focus, with variations like the Queen and facehuggers being part of its family. However, in Noah Hawley’s Alien: Earth, a new development unfolds as the Weyland-Yutani corporation recovers five distinct alien species. Four of these are novel to this franchise, namely the Blood Tick, the Octopus Eye, the Orchid, and an alien fly nest. The Xenomorph makes its return as well. This article delves into each new species from Alien: Earth, using available information. Updates will be made as more details about these new aliens emerge.

The 5 New Alien Species From Alien: Earth

The Blood Tick Is a New Alien That Will Make Your Skin Crawl

I’m sorry to break this to you if you dislike insects, but among the new alien species found by the crew of the Maginot on Alien: Earth, there’s one that might give you the creeps. These creatures, somewhat similar to ticks, have a disturbing habit of burrowing into their victims’ bodies where they feed on internal organs until sacs at the back of their bodies fill with blood. You can witness this gruesome scene in episode two featuring poor Prodigy special forces. The most unsettling aspect? Once these creatures embed themselves within a host, they develop inside until numerous bug-like offspring burst out of the host’s body.

The T. Ocellus, or “Octopus Eye” Is the Creepiest New Alien Species on Alien: Earth

Among the newly discovered creatures in “Alien: Earth”, the T. Ocellus, or as the crew of the Maginot referred to it, the Octopus Eye alien, is particularly unsettling. This creature moves around octopus tentacles and has a disturbing ability: it can extract an eye from a mammal-like creature and replace it with itself, effectively taking control over the host’s body. Initially, it targets a cat, causing it to become aggressive towards several hybrid beings. This new species might be the one that most closely resembles human intelligence, possibly even sentience. The Octopus Eye alien poses a significant threat to all characters in “Alien: Earth”.

The Fly Nest Is Buzzing with Danger

On Alien: Earth, it’s not just ticks that appear to be extraterrestrial creatures. We’ve discovered a hive of flies, reminiscent of hornet nests found on our home planet. Little is known about these winged creatures, but they can fly and grow quite large. Given their origins, we anticipate them to behave similarly to parasites, like the other alien species we’ve encountered. Moreover, considering that flies are Earth’s most bothersome insects, it’s reasonable to assume they’ll cause similar nuisances on Alien: Earth.

The Xenomorph Isn’t a New Alien, But It Is THE Alien

In the game titled “Alien: Earth, ” the iconic Xenomorph, synonymous with the Alien franchise, makes its appearance. This creature appears to be of the same species as the one introduced in the initial Alien movie from 1979, featuring eggs that spawn face-huggers to implant their embryos in humans. So far, this Xenomorph is a mirror image of its earlier counterparts, designed by H.R. Giger in Ridley Scott’s original film. However, the future of the series may hold unexpected changes for this familiar alien species on “Alien: Earth“.

Alien: Earth Sets Up the Possibility of Countless New Alien Species

The series Alien: Earth implies that if one dangerous alien species exists, there could be numerous others. Although the first season of Alien: Earth focuses on five specific alien species, as the show and franchise progress, we might encounter many more aliens. Here’s to all potential new characters in the Alien universe!
