        • Definition(s)
          • Fictional creature created by Dan O'Bannon and H.R. Giger, first appearing in the 1979 film "Alien". A facehugger is the second stage in the Alien's life cycle. It has eight long, finger-like legs, which allow it to crawl rapidly, and a long tail adapted for making great leaps. These particular appendages give it an appearance somewhat comparable to chelicerate arthropods such as arachnids and horseshoe crabs. Wikipedia

        • Definition(s)
          • 에일리언의 유충 운반책. 이름은 말 그대로 Face + hugger로 얼굴을 덮어버리는 존재이다. 에일리언 알에는 에일리언의 유충이 들어 있는 것이 아니다. 대신, 페이스 허거라는 유충 운반책이 될 기괴한 생명체가 잠들어 있다. 리그베다 위키 - by Jin Kim
