The Offspring and Kay from Romulus Alien
The Offspring is a terrifying new creature that is introduced in 2024's Alien: Romulus, and here are eight key details about the alien's design that you may have missed. For most of the film's runtime, Alien: Romulus is concerned with making the Xenomorphs its main antagonist, with Rain, Andy, and the rest of the Alien: Romulus cast facing off against them while on board the Romulus space station.
1 ✕ Remove Ads Much of The Offspring's height is thanks to the actor who played it in Alien: Romulus. Basketball player Robert Bobroczkyi is inside The Offspring's costume, with the athlete being 7'7" in real life. Bobroczkyi was chosen for the role due to his towering stature, allowing for a much more realistic creature of that height to be made.
When Rain sees The Offspring again, it is a completely different story. While The Offspring's face does look more human than Xenomorph, its odd proportions and stretched-out facial features make it look a bit uncanny. The monster's black eyes and sharp teeth make it look threatening, although it looks a bit pitiful when it does some facial expressions.
1 ✕ Remove Ads These claws are also reminiscent of the claws that can be seen on the hands of the Xenomorphs, with this being another way in which the Xenomorph's DNA has influenced the DNA of Kay's baby. This most likely means that these claws are one of the natural evolutionary endpoints that the black goo from Prometheus often reaches, as it has been seen on several of the aliens from the franchise.
On top of that, The Offspring gets various wounds across its body, making the monster appear even creepier. Despite its stature, it seems to be more easily damaged than the Xenomorph, with this either being a product of The Offspring's youth or its human DNA. Luckily, The Offspring is finally killed by Rain when it falls into the cargo bay of the ship. Rain then ejects the Cargo Pod, with The Offspring falling into the same planetary rings that destroy the Romulus space station.
