Xenomorph Encounter Survivors: Humans Who Lived
This section collects characters who survived direct or extended encounters with Xenomorphs across the Alien and Aliens vs. Predator franchise. Survival is rare in this universe because outbreaks exploit tight ship corridors, failing corporate oversight, and the sheer lethality of the creature's life cycle. These accounts often intersect with Colonial Marine missions, Weyland-Yutani cover-ups, and AvP crossover events where humans gained unlikely allies among the Yautja. For more background on the creatures themselves, visit Alien Lore; for other notable human figures in the setting, see Alien Universe Characters.
