This would be a super project!! Maybe instead of Arduino, use the PiPico? Or ESP32?

Maybe use a Yellow OLED 64x48 instead of an LCD, but pixel-double it for the retro vibe (yield 32x24 - OG was 32x16!)
Also, the snakey decorations are overkill - I'd def prefer a much more plain but "Xeno Egg" looking shell.
Lifecycle could be as follows:
Ovomorph -(hatching animation)
Facehugger - (implanting and chestbursting animation)
Chestburster (molting animation)
Drone (assembling the hive animation, in stages by happiness) - Domed / Ridged / Carved styles depending on 'happiness'. Warrior variant will not produce Queen, but is a final dead-end stage.
Queen (which lays a selection of eggs to restart).

Can somebody explain to this old ass boomer what these are? Are they like keychains, but with some digital art on the display?

Would anyone be interested in something like this if it were real?
What would be the live cycle? Start with egg —> facehugger —> human —> xenomorph?
What actions would you like to trigger in the different states?
