In the novelization of this film, David shows Oram a fossilized Ovomorph and the dead Facehugger within, pointing out that they are an Engineer creation, engineered long before he arrived on the planet. David goes on to express a desire to play God, stating that he wishes to create a similarly "perfect" lifeform himself, apparently inspired by Engineers past experiments that created first Xenomorphs. This explanation was also in early screenplay versions for the movie, but according to director Ridley Scott, he later changed this to imply that David is the originator of the Xenomorph species without any references from the Engineers' past experiments. Motivated by hubris and a genocidal disdain for both his human creators and the Engineers that made them, he set out to create the perfect organism himself, with the Neomorphs and Praetomorphs being important steps in the process.
