Newborn

The Newborn is an Alien Resurrection character.

It was created when scientists of the United Systems Military cloned the body of Ellen Ripley, which contained a developing Xenomorph Queen. Once removed, the Queen continued her cycle of laying eggs, but developed a second stage, which involved the creation of a womb - inherited from DNA exchange from Ripley.

This breed was the offspring that emerged from the womb. It had softer skin, rather then the hard, chitinous body of other breeds. It also had more human proportions, as well as a slightly human face, with eyes deep in the sockets and feral fangs. It identified Ripley as it's mother and killed the Queen by slicing off part of her mouth, finding her too different from itself. The Newborn also lacks the offensive adaptations of the other breeds: it has no inner jaw or tail. However, its teeth are still sharp enough to pentrate bone and it has incredible strength stronger than a queen. It also lacks dorsal tubes. Unlike other Xenomorphs, it displays some emotion which uncharacteristic of the species. It acts like other Xenomorphs by killing humans except Ripley. It is more deadly than a queen.

It died when Ripley damaged part of the escape ship's window with her acidic blood, since she is half alien, causing the vacuum to suck the Newborn to shreds through the small opening.
