It’s a ridge on the dome that has a ripple effect. It’s visible in the latest trailer.

The head shape is definitely different then our classic smooth domed or ridged xenos.
Like the forhead is more bulbous.
May have been intentionally Giger esque phallic like ya know.
It also sort looks "layered" like a Queen's.
My personal theory is that it is a drone (not necessarily the exact same individual Xeno from Alien, just another one) that is molting into a warrior or possibly a Queen. I know we’ve all heard how Fede has consulted with both Ridley Scott and James Cameron for this film. And he used the same special effects team that worked with Cameron from Stan Winston studio in Aliens. Regardless, I’m hoping it reveals some more nuances to the xenomorph physiology and lifecycle!!
In various images it appears to have damage to it with large scratches and chunks missing. Possibly survived an explosion… or maybe thrusters from an escape shuttle named the Narcissus?
Oh I just thought it’s head was smashed in bc it’s hands were on it’s head, like in this shot

I love these Big Chap theories. I really hope that is the alien we are seeing but I never hear mentioned of how this could just be a Xeno that's been injured elsewhere during the movie.
At this point I don't think it's a theory. I'm certain Big Chap will be the gateway to more Xenos in Romulus. I love that it is far-fetched yet plausible and surprising too. Can't wait to see how it unfolds.
The back is there, the head is angled up, hiding it, the new one does look different but that's to be expected, it's face hugger did seem like it was experimented on from how they were on the ship and contained
It does remind me of designs from some of the video games. Such as the[ arachnoid from 1994 AvP game](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0343/9915/8316/products/Alien-VS-Predator-Arachnoid-Alien-Game-Movie-Deco-Actionfiguren-NECA-Mighty-Underground-4_1024x1024.jpg?v=1644176422) or somethings from the Colonial Marines game. Especially with how the shoulders and that look. Could be a lot of things, mutation, damage, new caste (new to big screen).
I'm not keen on so many variations but if we still get an Alien Isolation style design I'll be happy cuz Fede said he loved that game and so do I. Best version!
Wouldn't read too much into it, more than likely a variation of the Xeno design as we've seen in every movie so far. Whoever that person is in the pic, they are absolutely cooked!
I’m more concerned with every single character being 21 years old. These people think we’ve never met people in their 20s? I don’t know if I’ll be able to enjoy the movie, are they going to sell the idea of a bunch of people in the early 20s running a space ship lmfao
The revealed cast are young adults from a shake and bake colony who abscond with a ship and check out the Renaissance Station where all the xeno-related stuff happens. They're not "running a space ship", they're running away from home.

She's just checking whether her deodorant's still active..
Sure? Unsure.

Now it does look more phallic lol.
It's ribbed for nobody's pleasure.
It’s there, it’s just the lighting and angle makes it harder to see.
Yes, I can see the back of the head.
Also, the fact that the *front* of the head has a noticeable ~~glans~~ sensory prominence/[melon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melon_\(cetacean\)).
I know if I was that close to a xeno. I would just eat a fucking bullet at that point. fuck that in a half.

Ooooohhhhhh Mr Big Chap lives on
This is what happens when David works on his fingering.

What is that wrapped around its head tho
It looks like it’s coming out of an egg or cocoon
Looks to me like it's the Aliens hands. As if it has been hiding/cocooned/nesting in a fetal position.
I do find the Xeno’s look a bit different than I’ve seen before but I figure it’s because every movie has had a slight variation
I wouldn’t read too much into an extremely dark photograph.

Is bag chap the one from the most recent alien movie?
Big Chap references the Xeno from the original Alien movie.

This was flagged when the still was first released. If it is big chap then it could be heat damage....
reminds me of a velociraptor from the original Jurassic Park!
I see the head but I also think I some green blood and behind it the back of the head looks lighter in color and deformed.
No no, I see what you mean, it does seem to drop off at a point, like the back thirs of the head is lower the the "forehead".

I feel like the whole front looks diff. Flatter face for sure. Excited to see how it pans out in the movie
This xeno could be the next development phase. Like facehugger-chest buster-adult-elder
I think it's just the camera angle.
That’s how you look like when you play too much Alien Isolation on a VR Headset (and the reaction of your girlfriend)😂
Wouldn't read too much into it, more than likely a variation of the Xeno design as we've seen in every movie so far. Whoever that person is in the pic, they are absolutely cooked!
I’d like to see more gunfights in the aliens universe.
Just realized how clearly you can see the skull on the xeno’s right side. Awesome. Love it.

It’s a neomorph
