Re: A Starved Zombie Is A Dead Zombie
A little "get out of jail free" card for you. Considering the Zenomorphs biology, I'd assume they were carbon based. They (through necessity of what is shown in the films) would get their mass from an extremely efficient version of a plants growth. With hat and water vapor, they would get most their food, like a plant, from the air. Though this ignores the energy requirements.
Totally impossible, but I guess you'd call it a carbon nanotube type life form.
