Proto/Praeto/Xenomorphs

Does anyone have any RS for referring to David's creation as Proto/Praetomorphs? As the film credits identify it as a Xenomorph (as our own article indicates), I'd be tempted to remove the term to reflect this as it just introduces confusion for the reader. I couldn't find anything obvious and there's a short (old) discussion in the archives that also didn't come with anything. Scribolt (talk) 10:14, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
