An intriguing aspect of Xenomorph biology is their ability to enter a state of hibernation. During hibernation, Xenomorphs can survive in a dormant state for extended periods, effectively prolonging their lifespan until more favorable conditions arise. This ability to hibernate is a key survival mechanism, allowing them to endure long periods of scarcity or inactivity. The hibernation will even work in space, where the Xenomorph will "curl up" to preserve energy. In this state, Xenomorphs don't need any food, but wil also stop growing. Considering this hibernation ability, the Nostromo Alien and LV-426 Queen might still be floating in space, ready to be picked up.
