I remember reading an interview with HR Giger around the time Alien was released (1979?) where he said that skeletons and mechanical parts were sources of the inspiration for the Alien design. Giger used to be a mechanical engineer.
Certainly the little sea creature has an exo-skeleton so I can see the similarities.

Some Thing

Those loud roars don't really match those types of creatures...they don't seem to have any mouths.

Of course, no one has ever seen/heard a 350 ft version of them, so... Very Happy
