*Both aliens exhibit similar qualities such as climbing walls and jumping large distances. They are also hive-minded yet learn as individuals. | *Both aliens exhibit similar qualities such as climbing walls and jumping large distances. They are also hive-minded yet learn as individuals. | ||
*The Facehugger and the [[ | *The Facehugger and the [[Flood infection form]] are both roughly the size of a football, their coloring is extremely similar, neither has visible eyes or mouths, both move around low to the ground on numerous long, thin appendages, and both have a ridged tail. Both are able to leap with appendages spread open in order to latch on to their soon-to-be-hosts. | ||
*The Aliens and Flood both reproduce in a way that could be described as parasitic, though the Flood seems to modify existing biomass, (or create their own in the case of the [[Pure Form]]) while the Xenomorph "chestbursters" only develop inside the host up to a certain point, at which time they erupt from the victim's chest and presumably make up the rest of their mass by food consumption. | *The Aliens and Flood both reproduce in a way that could be described as parasitic, though the Flood seems to modify existing biomass, (or create their own in the case of the [[Pure Form]]) while the Xenomorph "chestbursters" only develop inside the host up to a certain point, at which time they erupt from the victim's chest and presumably make up the rest of their mass by food consumption. | ||

For example, if a Xenomorph hatches from a human, it will retain human characteristics; if a Flood infection form attaches to a human, it will also retain human characteristics (though this is due to the fact that the combat form is a mutation of the host's body). | ||
*The android Ash describes the alien in the franchise's first film as "the perfect organism," while the [[Gravemind]] (as well as the artificial construct [[Mendicant Bias]]) considers the Flood to be the perfect society—the last, most advanced stage of evolution. The "societies" of both species are governed by queen-bee-like leaders of a central hive-mind. In both societies, there appear to be no internal divisions or opposing behaviors. | *The android Ash describes the alien in the franchise's first film as "the perfect organism," while the [[Gravemind]] (as well as the artificial construct [[Mendicant Bias]]) considers the Flood to be the perfect society—the last, most advanced stage of evolution.
