Anyone know his website?

What would this creature's type be, anyways? Not vermin, no, but Abberation? Outsider? It would make sense if it was an outsider, but abberation works just fine.

I'm trying to figure how to advance it, do the scimatics.

Technically name of the aliens from Alien

Nah, 'xenomorph' is a scientific term meaning 'alien creature', it doesn't refer to any particular species. The Aliens are never given a proper name.

I also read somewhere that they were named Xenomorphs at one point early on, but the name didn't stick (sure, it's somewhat generic, but far less generic than 'Aliens'). It might have been in the Aliens vs. Predator novel, or might have been in one of the Aliens crossover comics.

'xenomorph' is a scientific term meaning 'alien creature',

From the latin:

xeno = alien
morph = shape

 

[Saeviomagy]

And with the original meaning of alien, it means that they have the shape of something which isn't their own race. Which is mostly the case (when they 'infect' different creatures, they pick up aspects of the creature).

The movie Aliens. Lt. Gormen calls them that.

Xenomorph is basically a shape that cant be related to Earth life forms.
Nowadays it tends to mean, something thats like the Aliens from Alien.
