    Film Number of Fingers Description
    Alien (1979) Six The original Xenomorph has webbed, six-fingered hands. The fingers are often held together, giving a fused appearance, but are distinct digits.
    Aliens (1986) Three The design was simplified to three fingers: two paired digits and one opposable thumb. They appear longer and more skeletal.
    Alien³ (1992) Four The “dog” or “runner” Xenomorph has four digits on each hand, continuing a more animalistic, quadrupedal design.
    Alien: Resurrection (1997) Four Features four digits: two long middle fingers and a pair of opposable thumbs. The hands are bulkier and more fleshy.
    Alien vs. Predator (2004) Four Retains the four-digit design from Resurrection, though hands are made bulkier for combat with Predators.
    Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007) Four Continues the four-digit structure, consistent with the previous AVP film.
    Prometheus (2012) N/A (Not a true Xenomorph) Features the “Deacon,” a different xenomorphic creature with distinct, non-canonical limb structure.
    Alien: Covenant (2017) Five The “Neomorph” and “Protomorph” (or “Chestburster”) display five-digit hands, marking a return to a more humanoid structure.
    Alien: Romulus (2024) Six Returns to a six-fingered design, with two opposing thumbs and four digits, reminiscent of the original but with modern articulation.

    Parked, right? You better have been. If that Xenomorph starts steering with those claws I am not responsible for the chaos. Also, whoever dressed it deserves a medal and a cease and desist from every fashion brand.

    This is the exact level of absurdity the internet owes me. Red sweater, houndstooth purse, cosmic menace energy, all in one photo. I bow.
