Originally, Fifield's appearance after he has been mutated by the black liquid was very different. The creature that he turns into featured a translucent cowl that covered its elongated head, immediately notable for its resemblance to the translucent dome that covers the skull of Xenomorph Drones. Director Ridley Scott described it as a cross between the Deacon (that came out of the Engineer) and a Hammerpede (the snake-like alien), and the creature was slowly decomposing, same as the Engineer's head earlier in the film. The scene was shot practically, with Sean Harris and stuntmen, with additional CGI effects and textures replacing Harris' performance afterwards (90% of the flames were real, though). However, this design was altered late in production, out of a desire to move the picture away from the original Alien (1979) film, and also because Scott felt that the monster's look should be more "grounded". Special effects for the original version had been virtually completed by the time the sequence was altered, and a very nearly finished version is included among the deleted scenes on the Prometheus home video releases. In Jon Spaihts's original script for Prometheus (titled Alien: Engineers), Fifield's transformation was even more extreme: he actually becomes a form of Xenomorph, with an elongated skull, dorsal tubes sprouting from his suit and large clawed talons growing from his hands.
