The  Ovomorph , known colloquially as the  Egg , is an egg-like capsule containing a  Facehugger , generally considered to be the first stage in the  life cycle  of the species  Xenomorph XX121 . They are produced and laid by a  Queen . Xenomorph Eggs by themselves are seemingly inert and are often dismissed as nothing more than lifeless vessels simply designed to contain the Facehugger.
