The Xenomorph Drone Grid performing a Head Bite on the Yautja Celtic.
A Head Bite[1] or headbite is a striking move used by Xenomorphs to kill their prey, involving the use of their inner jaw to pierce the victim's skull and fatally destroy the brain. The striking force of the Xenomorph's inner jaw is extremely powerful, able to pierce a Yautja Bio-Mask. The Head Bite is in many ways their signature (although by no means their only) method of killing. Due to the fact it directly inflicts damage on the victim's brain, it is almost always fatal, even against species stronger than humans, such as the Yautja.
The first known Head Bite occurred on October 10, 2004, when the Yautja Chopper was pierced by the tail of the Xenomorph Drone Grid and then Head Bitten in the Pyramid under Bouvet Island. Grid preformed another Head Bite shortly afterwards on the Yautja Celtic.[2]

Behind the scenes
Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem
- Main article: Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem
For the Head Bite in Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem, a silicone and fiberglass bust[3] was created with the likeness[4] Ty Olsson, Nathan's actor,[3] from a head cast.[4] The bust was loaded with an air-powered canister of brains (made out of bananas from the craft service table) and blood.[4] Alec Gillis and Steve Frakes prepared the bust before Alien actor Simon Burnett grabbed both sides of the bust's head.[3] A pneumatically-fired Alien inner jaw was aligned to, and then pierced, a pre-cut hole.[3]
Trivia
- In Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem, a Warrior Head Bites an already dead human body. It is not known why it did this, but is presumed (or suggested) to have been eating the corpse. If this is the case, it would also suggest that Xenomorphs swallow their food through their second mouth.
