All New Monsters & Creatures in Alien: Earth Listed
Alien: Earth has already added to the lore of the brilliant Alien franchise, which imagines vicious and deadly creatures living in the far reaches of space, by introducing a new set of monsters. Since the time of its inception, the Alien franchise has introduced some iconic creatures and monsters like the Xenomorph. Now, there are at least four more new creatures and monsters making their debut in Alien: Earth.
List of new monsters in Alien: Earth Episodes 1 and 2
The first two episodes of Alien: Earth introduced several interesting things and were quite packed, too. Here are four new monsters that were revealed in the first two episodes of Alien: Earth.
Blood Bugs
The vicious Blood Bugs got the spotlight in the first episodes of Alien: Earth. The deadly insects seemingly got loose during the crash and then waited for the opportunity to strike. Highly intelligent, the bugs attacked two Prodigy search and rescue team members in the ship's ruined lab when they were alone.
The bugs kill by burrowing into the men's bodies and reproducing, much like the Xenomorphs. The full range of abilities of these bugs is still unknown.
The Eye Octopus
The Eye Octopus is not the official name of the creature that appeared in the first two episodes, but the parasitic creature resembled an octopus with an eye for its body. Another intelligent being, this parasite is shown to be cunning and calculating. The parasite can rip its prey's eye out with its tentacles and place itself in its place. It can then control the host's body.
The Flower Bud
The Flower Bud was the first specimen that appeared in Alien: Earth. The bud hangs in a hallway after the crash and seems to be stalking people around. It also looks poisonous.
There was not much revealed of this creature in the first two episodes, but it seems very evident that there is some kind of nightmare hiding in its folds. Perhaps it will open in future episodes and reveal something deadly?
Cricket Bug
The blink-and-miss appearance of the cricket bug in the opening moments of Alien: Earth was simply not enough to give a glimpse into its powers. But it was still among the samples that Maginots' crew gathered. It is also one that did not escape in the crash. Moreover, the show did not really delve into the powers of this bug, indicating that there could be a role for this bug ahead.
The first two episodes of Alien: Earth are now streaming on Hulu.
