Photos Leaked From Alien: Covenant Reveal Facehuggers, New Alien And More

A few days ago, we reported that ‘Alien: Covenant’ actor Michael Fassbender had revealed the name of the new Xenomorphs, named Neomorphs, and the details that surround the creatures creation. Today, several leaked photos from the film surfaced, via SoIsItAnyGood.com. The images, we fear, won’t be up long due to the spoilers they contain. They are from the actual set, not from a prop room. The photos reveal that Fassbender’s character, the android David from ‘Prometheus’, has been busy collecting specimens while stranded on the planet. They show the new alien, the Neomorph, as well as Facehuggers and eggs. You can view the photos HERE, but be warned they are filled with spoilers. The creatures begin their lives in pods growing on trees, which infect their hosts via their ears and bursts out through their victims’ backs, a twist on the classic Facehuggers. Unlike the classic Xenomorphs, the Neomorphs are white. They are based on an unused concept from ‘Prometheus’.

More details on the Neomorph were obtained by AvP Galaxy. The Neomorph were created by an infestation of a type of black goo on their planet that allowed the ecosystem to mutate.
