    I mean, who’s to say whether xenomorphs perceive time and space like humans. Sure, they behave like animals, but they could still have evolved or been created in some strange part of the universe where space-time is shaped differently, making those horrible, non-Euclidean shapes look like home to them.

    For all humans know or can comprehend, xenomorphs are tiny, eldritch fleas that evolved to live on Cthulu’s pet, so while I’d still give the overall win to the Big Guy/Gal/Entity, the xenomorphs might be on his/her/its radar and might even be able to annoy him/her/it in a way that humans can’t.

        Just a reference to the way Lovecraft described the architecture of the ancient cities built by worshipers of the eldritch beings, especially in At The Mountains of Madness.
