    Would be awesome to see Neil ranking aliens from video games there is an entire ecosystem of aliens present in video games

    The reason the Xenomorph is a vertebrate is because of the host it used. In this case it was a human, in alien 3 it’s a dog and the Xeno takes looks differently because of it.

    One character in the original Star Trek was the Horta, a silicon based life form that was totally non humanoid.
