Film
Number of Fingers
Description


Alien (1979)
Six
The original Xenomorph has webbed, six-fingered hands. The fingers are often held together, giving a fused appearance, but are distinct digits.

Aliens (1986)
Three
The design was simplified to three fingers: two paired digits and one opposable thumb. They appear longer and more skeletal.

Alien³ (1992)
Four
The "dog" or "runner" Xenomorph has four digits on each hand, continuing a more animalistic, quadrupedal design.

Alien: Resurrection (1997)
Four
Features four digits: two long middle fingers and a pair of opposable thumbs. The hands are bulkier and more fleshy.

Alien vs. Predator (2004)
Four
Retains the four-digit design from Resurrection, though hands are made bulkier for combat with Predators.

Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007)
Four
Continues the four-digit structure, consistent with the previous AVP film.

Prometheus (2012)
N/A (Not a true Xenomorph)
Features the "Deacon," a different xenomorphic creature with distinct, non-canonical limb structure.

Alien: Covenant (2017)
Five
The "Neomorph" and "Protomorph" (or "Chestburster") display five-digit hands, marking a return to a more humanoid structure.

Alien: Romulus (2024)
Six
Returns to a six-fingered design, with two opposing thumbs and four digits, reminiscent of the original but with modern articulation.
