        • Definition(s)
          • Fictional creature created by Dan O'Bannon and H.R. Giger, first appearing in the 1979 film "Alien". A facehugger is the second stage in the Alien's life cycle. It has eight long, finger-like legs, which allow it to crawl rapidly, and a long tail adapted for making great leaps. These particular appendages give it an appearance somewhat comparable to chelicerate arthropods such as arachnids and horseshoe crabs. Wikipedia

          • Лицеграбът е въображаемо извънземно същество, ксеноморфно чудовище, чийто създатели са Дан О'Банън и Х. Р. Гигер във филма "Пришълецът" (1979 г.) на Ридли Скот. На външен вид то прилича на паяк с осем дълги крайника и дълга мускулеста опашка, която му помага да се движи и отскача бързо. Лицеграбът е хищник, който сграбчва лицето на жертвата в търсене на потенциален гостоприемник, в чието тяло той поставя ембрион. Own research - by Yavor Dimitrov

          • Für den von HR Giger entworfenen Facehugger, ein spinnenartiges Wesen, das sich auf dem Gesicht des Opfers festsetzt und ein Alien-Ei zur Entwicklung in dessen Körper pflanzt, ließ sich der Künstler von den Fingern einer menschlichen Hand inspirieren. Für die bei der Obduktion des toten Facehuggers sichtbaren inneren Organe wurden Muscheln, darunter Austern, und eine Schafsleber verwendet. wikipedia.org - by Egmont Schröder
        • Example sentence(s)
          • Der Facehugger stellt nach dem Ei die zweite Entwicklungsstufe des Aliens dar. Die recht kleine, arachnoide Lebensform schlüpft, sobald in der unmittelbaren Nähe des Eis Bewegungen wahrgenommen werden. Wie der Name schon impliziert, folgt der Angriff auf das Gesicht des Opfers: Die Beine fixieren den Körper am Kopf des Unglücklichen, während der Schwanz sich um den Hals wickelt. Durch den Mund wird eine parasitäre Larve in den Bauchbereich des Wirtskörpers eingeführt - chip.de by Egmont Schröder
          • Der Facehugger ist ein spinnenartiges Wesen, das in der Lage ist, andere Lebewesen mit einer Chestbusterlarve zu infizieren. Wenn ein Wirt in die Nähe eines Alieneies kommt, öffnet es sich, und der Facehugger springt seinem Wirt augenblicklich ins Gesicht, um ihn mit der Larve zu infizieren. Wenn diese Aufgabe erfüllt ist, stirbt der Facehugger. - www.fandom.com by Egmont Schröder
