- 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

- Лицехват (англ. facehugger) — подвижное паукообразное существо, имеющее восемь длинных суставчатых конечностей и ещё более длинный мускулистый хвост, который предназначен для перемещения, захвата будущего носителя и удержания тела лицехвата возле ротового отверстия жертвы, а также небольшого удушения жертвы, если она начнёт сопротивляться. Avito - by DTSM
- Example sentence(s)
- Снять организм не представляется возможным — любые попытки оторвать его от лица заставляют его ещё сильнее обхватывать лицо и шею, а при попытке отсечь конечность инопланетного «паука» выясняется, что его кровь, соединяясь с воздухом, образует кислоту, настолько едкую, что несколько капель из раны лицехвата прожигают внутренние переборки корабля на два уровня. - Wikipedia by DTSM
- Через некоторое время после внедрения эмбриона лицехват оставляет «хозяина» и вскоре умирает, а жизненные процессы носителя возвращаются в норму — он приходит в сознание и начинает испытывать чувство сильного голода, так как развивающийся эмбрион требует большого количества питательных веществ. - Wikipedia by DTSM

- Il Facehugger (letteralmente "Abbracciafaccia") è la seconda fase nel ciclo vitale dello Xenomorfo. È fornito di otto arti simili a dita e una lunga coda, permettendogli di fare balzi notevoli. Si tratta di un parassita che agisce attaccandosi al volto di una vittima facendo presa sul collo con la coda, per poi depositare un embrione nel suo torace. Definizione di Xenomorfo in Wikipedia - by Francesco D'Arcangeli
- Example sentence(s)

"l facehugger è quell'alieno "mangiafacce" che si attacca al volto di una vittima facendo presa sul collo con la coda, per poi depositare un embrione nel suo torace." - Articolo di Movieplayer.it by Francesco D'Arcangeli
- "I Facehugger sono in grado di sostituire le cellule dello strato superiore della pelle con siliconi polimerizzati, per aumentare la propria resistenza agli agesti esterni, ed hanno il sangue composto da un acido molecolare (uguale a quello degli Alien adulti), la cui corrosività si attiva solo se esposto all'aria in seguito a ferite o "spruzzato" di sua volontà, ad esempio quando in "Alien" lo usa per corrodere il casco della tuta spaziale della sua vittima, ed in "Alien3" per aprire la capsula da ipersonno di Ripley." - Alien.it by Francesco D'Arcangeli
