While Facehuggers have been removed before embryo implantation has taken place, the process is ostensibly fatal for the host. [7] The Facehugger's combination of vice-like grip, its ability to administer sedative chemicals and its highly acidic blood makes them almost impossible to safely remove. Additionally, their outer skin is known to harden shortly after emerging from the Egg, becoming chitinous, similar to the mesoskeleton of the later, adult stages of the creature's life cycle, affording the Facehugger an increased resistance to physical trauma. [1] [5] The Royal Facehugger has the ability to lay a Queen embryo inside a host, as well as a further standard embryo inside a second host, a tactic designed to give the unborn Queen an immediate "bodyguard" in the form of a normal Drone. There have been multiple theories regarding the 'impregnation process' and what it is that the Facehugger implants into its host.

Janie, my wife... she got one of those things on her face." ― Freya's Prospect colonist C. Hope, referring to the Facehugger (from Aliens vs. Predator)

Another theory was that the Facehugger implants some sort of cellular cluster or tumors that would force the hosts body to construct the chestburster within them, thereby explaining how the Chestburster can be gestating where it is, as the host body grows it.

However, these negative effects do not appear to be universal – Darcy Vance noted that many documented hosts reported feeling healthier than normal during the incubation period, a fact attributed to heightened levels of endorphins and adrenaline in their blood stream, though at the cost of their immune system. [28] Intelligence [ ] Facehuggers also seem to know if a host is suitable or not within seconds of attaching to a host, with one letting go of a host when it discovered that she had a wasting disease. This is preference for suitable host is likely to make sure that no defects are passed on to the gesting embryo.

The 1997 crossover Batman/Aliens had a Crocodile Alien, implying a Facehugger was able to overpower a crocodile despite its larger stronger jaw and longer breath-holding abilities. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=346057325514072&set=a.346054932180978.78876.100003294225459&type=3&theater Vincent Ward (writer), David Fincher (director). Alien 3 Special Edition ( 2003), 20th Century Fox [DVD]. Given the size of a Facehugger, humans, Predators or other humanoid-sized victims are the most compatible hosts. It has been suggested that a Facehugger would likely not be able to use a host smaller than a cat. [18] However, there is evidence that even Engineers, which are significantly larger than humans, have been impregnated by a Facehugger. [5] Similarly, it is not unknown for oxen to be successfully impregnated by Facehuggers. [19] Facehuggers are also known to attach to Oswocs, Kurns and Kritics. It is possible that a Facehugger does not need to entirely envelop a host's head to implant a Xenomorph, but merely needs to subdue it and insert its proboscis through the host's mouth.Dan O'Bannon, Ronald Shusett (writers), Ridley Scott (director).
