It's arguably stranger: a single animal that transforms itself to many adult animals. Granted, this is fairly similar to how bacteria reproduce but we almost never see this kind of thing in larger multi-cell organisms | |

| Aug 3, 2015 at 22:47 | comment | added | Praxis | @WadCheber : Thanks! I would tend to agree with you: while parts of the Xenomorph life cycle may be inspired by various oddities of nature, I suspect that the facehugger is indeed unique. | |

| Aug 3, 2015 at 22:42 | comment | added | Wad Cheber | You deserve a bounty for mentioning Captain Higgins. Great answer, and a million thanks. I still don't see evidence of a distinct intermediate stage, which has no relation to the other stages (aside from laying the eggs). Both of these examples show one organism going through a series of changes, but Facehuggers don't change into anything else. I am beginning to suspect that the facehugger phenomenon is unique, and has no parallel in the real world. | |
