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.
