Range: Extended melee range, several miles with hearing Stamina: Extremely high (Stalks outside of human settlements for weeks and months on end) Their armor resists both bullets and modern explosives, and is described as 'impenetrable' on news cuttings), likely far higher (Survived the 'explosion' of their home planet, as well as the impact of their meteors which was compared to a nuclear explosion) Lifting Strength: At least Class 5 ( Nearly tipped over a truck just by trying to get to the kids inside of it)ĭurability: Street level on exposed body parts (One was killed by a direct blast to the head from a Browning BPS shotgun, but can otherwise withstand a grazing shot from it), at least Small Building level on armored body parts (Unharmed by any form of firearms with their armor. Speed: At least Superhuman (Can outrun any land animal, and kill humans much faster than they can even react) Frequently one-shots humans, and has killed nearly all sentient and sapient life on the planet, which would include numerous large land animals at this level), likely far higher (Likely overpowered the human military also scaled from the meteor strike) Can distinguish sounds made by sapient beings from miles away, and has extremely well-tuned echolocation), Reactive Evolution ( Stated by John Krasinski to be "evolutionary perfect" machines, that evolved to withstand firearms and even the destruction of their own planet), possible Self-Sustenance (Type 1, they are seemingly able to survive in space, but displayed as capable of drowning), can survive in practically any climateĪttack Potency: At least Wall level (They can tear through a solid metal silo, a metal fence, or the side of a train carriage, and easily crush a car. Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Stealth Mastery, Enhanced Senses (Has an acute sense of hearing that is thousands of times greater than a humans. Name: Unofficially nicknamed 'Death Angels/Angels of Death' in newspapers, although officially their name is unknownĪge: Unknown, the species has likely existed for centuries or millennia as they arrived on an asteroid from an exploding planet This, combined with their impenetrable armor, allowed them to hunt and kill most sapient life on the planet, including a sizable portion of humanity, causing society to crumble and collapse. They kill anything and everything that moves, assisted by a sense of acute hearing far beyond anything produced on the Earth. This has been #7.The monsters that appear in the film, A Quiet Place, also nicknamed as Death Angels or the Angels of Death are a species of hyper-evolved predators that arrived to the earth on a number of meteors that landed on its surface. This December, Inverse is counting down the 20 best science moments in science fiction this year.
It’s pure nightmare fuel, but in theory, the science here is sound - assuming such a place exists that has no light yet can still maintain living organisms. Because of how well they hear and how tough their armored hide is, they can just rampage directly towards any sound they hear. They can also maneuver their head flaps to amplify nearby sounds. The creatures have incredibly sensitive and deep ear canals, even more impressive than owls. “They were able to survive some kind of the explosion of their planet and then survive on these meteorites,” Krasinski said.Īlien creatures blindly riding meteors to Earth makes no amount of sense, but in theory, the science behind their evolution is sound (pun intended.)Īs gross as it looks, this is a very advantageous adaptation. “So the idea is if they grew up on a planet that had no humans and no light then they don’t need eyes, they can only hunt by sound,” Krasinski told Empire Podcast in April, adding that their bodies are basically “evolutionarily perfect machines.”īasically, they’ve evolved to be invulnerable unless they expose themselves. That’s how you get the alien monsters from A Quiet Place, the breakout sci-fi horror hit directed by John Krasinski and released in April 2018.Īs horrifying as the disturbingly quiet film is, the science between how these creatures evolved actually makes some measure of scientific sense.
The harsh environment would restrict their senses to just sound and leave their bodies covered with natural armor plating. Imagine an extraterrestrial organism that evolved on an alien planet with zero light.
