What is a xeno?
Xenos have had a whole load of creative interpretations over the years, from the drone in Alien, to the runner in Aliens 3, to the weird shit that happened later on.
CM has taken some (well executed) liberties with the design of the xenomorphs, adding new warrior and defender castes and giving original castes a whole new look.
In your mind, what does a xeno NEED TO HAVE to still be considered a xeno in your mind and why?

No eyes.
Double jaw = Double the fun
Peculiar head shape.

Eh, a beno-headshape and a tail. Guess, that’s enough for appearance.

Re: What is a xeno?
xeno - other; different in origin.
morph - denoting something having a specified form or character.
I would say a xenomorph is anything that has a different form to a human. =P

Re: What is a xeno?
Of course head shape is bullshit. Look at predalien, look at many other variants.
Inner jaw and acid blood is a must for XX121. For xenomorphs that were created by "natural" means: Exoskeleton that is dark in colour, vulnerability to fire, fairly squishy exept higher castes, large numbers, true hivemind, intelligence of single example on the level of a monkey, hostility, no retarded spinning... That's pretty much it.

Good legs. Just look at original drone. Her legs are goals.

Obligatory: No eyes, inner jaw, acidic blood, S C R E E C H, some sort of weaponized limb or extension (bladed tails, spikes, blades, claws). Crawling stance, SEXY HINDS, being born from a chestburster, being violent.
Not Obligatory but tropes that really evoke xenos: Darker color palettes, H.R. Giger-esque patterns (tube looking muscles, bio-mechanical aesthetics, faint sexual/erotic undertones in poses and xeno behaviour), smooth drone forehead and upper cranium.

Re: What is a xeno?
Double jaw
penis heads with no eyes
Cool spiny bits
knife tail
claws
dark black carapace
hissing sounds
acid blood
And thematically they lurk in the dark and pick people off one by one like monsters.

Re: What is a xeno?
An effeminate body, yet slightly androgynous. A ghoulish posture. And it has to look similar to what it burst from, along with the other characteristic traits of xenos. I can forgive this game for making them look like humans despite coming from those weird little yeti things on the Ice colony, but I dislike that the runner lost some of this effeminate human trait in the new sprite.
After all, the origin to xeno's design was H. R. Giger's weird sexualized drawings. Also, all the xenos are females because of this, and the facehuggers are male, every time you get facehugged you're getting pumped.

Look, I've heard your cries, and your calls.
I know you're mad at Command. I know you're angry. I know you're angry that those dinosaurs killed your fellow men.
You told me this, and I heard you.
But you shouldn't be angry at your command. If you're angry at command, you're saying that command sent those men to die. But command didn't kill those men. The enemy killed those men. They took your comrades from you. That's the important thing to remember, it was the enemy who took your friends, and you should be really REALLY mad at them.
Before you go back down there, I'm reminding you who your enemy is. The enemy.
