We’ve seen a lot of impressive LEGO takes on the Xenomorph from the Alien franchise over the years, but I don’t think I’ve ever encountered one as perfect at minifig scale as this take from twin brothers  Brandon and Taylor. The micro model packs in 41 LEGO elements and manages to capture the biomechanical menace of Giger’s design despite being smaller than a juvenile newt. The designers were generous enough to share the instructions so that you too can dabble in creating the perfect organism.

The brilliant design is made from common elements and even allows for articulation.

Once you’ve assembled your Xenomorph, be sure to give it a comfortable place to live and feed it regularly. Otherwise, it’s game over, man.
