Big Chap

The Alien, nicknamed "Big Chap", was a lone Xenomorph Drone that was born on board the USCSS Nostromo from Executive Officer Thomas Kane in 2122. It was responsible for wiping out all but one of the Nostromo's crew in just a few hours. It was eventually killed by Ellen Ripley, who ejected the creature into space and burned it alive.

Fans have given the Alien in Alien various nicknames to differentiate it from other Xenomorph individuals, such as "Big Chap", "Kane's Son" (a phrase actually spoken in the movie by Ash) and "Giger's Alien" (after its designer, H. R. Giger). During filming, the crew nicknamed the creature "Little Rascal" while Giger himself humorously referred to the adult as the "Alien Dessert", a reference to its status as the final evolution of the organism in the film. The name Big Chap has notably been adopted by several companies for officially licensed media, including Hot Toys and NECA, while Giger's Alien is also the title of both a book and a documentary on the artist's role in the production.
