You should check out Novembers National Geographic. They usually have a segment of microorganisms and this month's is pretty interesting.
But since I'm in bio, i see a lot of weird things.
Here's another source of inspiration for the Alien movie, the artist H. R. Giger:

My current Guild Wars character:
Dauthix The Avenger (Paragon/Ranger)
Sorry but the real inspiration is here in this link en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Voyage_of_the_Space_Beagle
The creature itself is painted by a Wayne Douglas Barlowe :en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barlowe
If you are not familiar with Mr.Barlowe i suggest looking deeper you will be surprised at his contributions.
What is your physical limit?
Actually, Dauthix and the poster above me are both right.
I never heard of the inspiration coming from deap sea critters. Ridley said his inspiration came the mind of the artist Dauthix mentioned and that the story line inspiration came from the story the last poster mentioned.
People who have to create conspiracy and hate threads to further a cause lacks in intellectual comprehension of diversity.
