The final Alien-esque creature that bursts from the Engineer's body was named the "Ultramorph" in the screenplay, but was nicknamed "Deacon" due to its pointed head, which gave it the appearance of a Catholic mitre. It was a practical special effect, a rod puppet operated by several crew members; the goo and slime were added afterwards with CGI. In the shooting script, after it came out of the Engineer, it would bite off its own umbilical cord and charge towards Shaw and David; however, it barely misses them as they board another Engineer ship and leave. The final shot would have been the Deacon screaming at the sky. In the end, this was all omitted.
