The first one is the common one which we all know by heart by now. First it starts with the Queen xenomorph and this specimen lays many eggs or also called ovomorphs. From the egg comes the Facehugger which as the name suggests wraps around a human’s head and implants a small embryo in the oesophagus of the victim. This embryo grows and bursts out of the chest as a baby xenomorph called a chestburster which grows rapidly into a mature xenomorph. Which could either be a drone or a queen depending upon the type of facehugger.
This black goo will either disintegrate the body of incompatible hosts such as engineers as seen in the beginning of Prometheus and in planet paradise, while Incompatible hosts are killed outright, the compatible hosts are mutated into highly-aggressive monsters dubbed Anathema or Abominations such as in the case of the small Worms which become the Hammerpede.
A tiny dose of it if ingested by male humans would travel to their reproductive system and transmitted into the female human through sex and within that a cephalopod like organism will develop called a Trilobite. The trilobite here serves as some sort of a primordial facehugger which is many times larger and if it gets to implant the embryo inside an Engineer, then a weird form of a xenomorph will eventually burst out of the engineer and it will develop into a slender but highly deadly Deacon.
. Unlike Xenos, Neomorphs have an incredibly short lifespan, and they typically die within 24 hours of their birth. Fungus that interacts with the corpse of a Neomorph will be transformed into new Egg Sacks, restarting the cycle.
When the facehugger gets to implant its embryo inside a human, a chest burster would emerge but this chestburster looks like a miniature form of its mature version unlike the classic xenomorph chestburster which slithers away like a snake. The mature form is called the Protomorph or the praetomorph.

The Queen then gives live birth to a new xenomorph form called the Newborn which is by the far the strongest of them all and has a hybrid xenomorph slash human appearance.
Ever wondered how the Drones keep multiplying in numbers without a queen well in the anatomy of a drone xenomorph which in itself is a topic for another video. The drone has the ability to lay one viable egg or ovomorph.
This one is the most intriguing life cycle in my opinion and definitely the one that is the deadliest which also explains how the xenomorphs managed to multiply by the hundreds in a short period of time in AvP. So the entire process is alled ovomorphing which starts with the absence of a hive,
