# Facehugger

The facehugger is modeled as an object node because it functions as prop,
creature, plot engine, and medical emergency. Linking it from scenes gives the
reader a way to track how an object changes narrative status.

- First linked scene: [Scene 3 - Surface Approach](../alien.screenplay.md#scene-3-surface-approach)
- Containment scene: [Scene 4 - Quarantine Argument](../alien.screenplay.md#scene-4-quarantine-argument)
- Related character: [Kane](../characters/kane.character.md)
- Related location: [USCSS Nostromo](../locations/nostromo.location.md)

## PathMX Role

Object pages can hold design notes, symbolism, classroom prompts, or continuity
details while scenes remain readable.
