Also, there are other reasons to considerate Goa as an alien/xenomorph/space biatch monster.

-It has too many limbs. And two of them are/look like wings, but they are provided with claws and it keeps them over his back.

-It has an strange virus, never seen for now, wich is suposing a great problem because the monsters get infected easily. Reason: maybe this virus comes from another planet. So the Earth creatures are not prepared to resist the virus.

-As shown on the first trailer (where Goa Magara was called "the shadowy monster"), it is extremely agile. A possible explanation would be that Goa comes from a planet with higer gravity, so now, in the Earth's lower gravity, it feels ligth and fast and is able to do all these climbing moves.
