Alien - Egg with facehugger - Bottle Opener - (Zbox March 2020)
The Egg is the first stage of the Xenomorph's life cycle; produced by the Queen through the use of her ovipositor, it serves as an organic capsule for the facehugger.
When a host approaches, four "petals" at the top of the egg spread open and a Facehugger launches out. The Engineer cargo hold used an anesthetic mist to put them in suspended animation for safe handling. When no host approaches, the egg develops several tendril like roots, probably for nutrient absorption similar to plant organisms, to help it sustain itself until a potential host appears. Another theory is that the tendrils are used for communication between eggs, like the synapses in brain cells, to inform other eggs of host approach.
------------------------------
The Facehugger is a parasitoid form of the species Xenomorph XX121 that hatches from an Ovomorph. It is the second stage in the Xenomorph's life cycle, and exists solely to implant a Chestburster within a host creature via their mouth. As such, it has no real offensive capabilities (beyond an ability to spit acid, which is generally only used to gain access to hosts and not for attack)[1][2] and must rely on stealth, surprise or their victims being previously immobilized by an attacker to achieve implantation. Notably, a Facehugger dies shortly after its task has been completed. Facehuggers are around 3 feet in length from the tip of their forwardmost digits to the tip of their tail.

A bottle opener is a device that enables the removal of metal bottle caps from bottles. More generally, it might be thought to include corkscrews used to remove cork or plastic stoppers from wine bottles.
A metal bottle cap is affixed to the rim of the neck of a bottle by being pleated or ruffled around the rim. A bottle opener is a specialized lever inserted beneath the pleated metalwork, which uses a point on the bottle cap as a fulcrum on which to pivot.
