Just watched it for the first time tonight. What was the Xeno doing just lounging around in the shuttle at the end. I figured it was injured, but couldnt remember an instance where that could've happend. Can anyone clarify what the fuck was going on in that scene?

Things gotta sleep sometime right? It was probably just resting.
It's not like you need everything spoonfed to you, but personally I always assumed it was just sleeping.

Maybe it was molting or something. Who knows, it's like an alien doing alien type stuff we can't understand.

In the original draft of the script the xenos were an intelligent species, the one in the movie was essentially a child who had never been taught anything by its own kind, was scared and being hunted. It was attempting to hide in the shuttle in the same way a child might, it was hoping to escape just like Ripley was

The fucking thing reacted to and acknowledged her when she reached for the console. This 'perfect organism unclouded by conscience or remorce' just said ' doing your thing Ripley I need some shut eye!' and went back to sleep?

Interesting
I never did understand how it could be intelligent enough to figure out where the escape pod was and that it needed to go there, considering it had no interaction with anyone and was only a few days old.
