The original concept of the Alien creature was made out to be something you cannot escape, something nearly unstoppable, from the depths of your insanity fragments of your mind. They were never meant to be 'bugs', but then Cameron came along and raped the masterpiece that Giger and Ridley had created, it was supposed to be something that was almost a manifestation of each of the seven sins, lust mainly, but also wrath, greed, gluttony, sloth, pride, and even Envy. Lust being it's sexual overtones, how it lives to reproduce, and spread it's kind, wrath is pretty self-explanatory, greed-how it seeks to consume all in it's path, gluttony-it's voracious hunger, sloth-the way it moves, that sleek, graceful movement, pride-relates to how it consumes all in it's path and seeks to be the dominant race over man, and Envy-I'm sure it holds some form of grudge against those who mess with it, like the pilots, and humans. All in all, it was supposed to be the ultimate killing machine, or the 'perfect organism', while being far from perfect, it is still absent of all emotion, killing without mercy, without fear, without regret. Basically not a simply space insect.
