👽 Big Chap, the original Xenomorph from Ridley Scott’s 1979 Alien, was thought to be killed when Ellen Ripley ejected it into space. However, it survived for decades, cocooned in the wreckage of the Nostromo.

🚀 A Weyland-Yutani salvage team discovered the cocoon, leading to Big Chap’s final demise aboard the Romulus space station. The creature had entered a state of hibernation, allowing it to survive in space.

🔪 Once aboard the station, Big Chap awakened and began to kill the crew members with lethal precision. This version of the Xenomorph was even more menacing after decades of isolation.

🛠️ The remaining survivors, led by the android Rook, devised a plan to trap and eliminate the Xenomorph using the station’s cryo-chamber. They aimed to exploit extreme temperature changes to weaken it.

❄️ Big Chap entered the cryo-chamber, but as the temperature dropped, its exoskeleton began to crack. The crew activated cryo-gas, freezing the creature and seemingly defeating it.

💥 However, Big Chap’s acidic blood began to eat away at the ice. Rook initiated an emergency decompression of the chamber, venting air into space, which caused the Xenomorph to implode.

🪦 Big Chap, the iconic Xenomorph, was finally dead, reduced to shattered remnants. The crew faced immense damage and losses, with Rook damaged beyond repair.

📊 Despite Big Chap's death, Weyland-Yutani had gathered valuable data from the creature, ensuring the threat of Xenomorphs would continue. The story of Big Chap concludes with a gruesome yet fitting end.
