Alien ripped off demogorgon?

Personally I think The Xenomorph ripped off The Deomgorgon, the tunnels being pretty much demos portals but preset and the tail attack in place of demos shred, I feel as if they might have tried to bring demo back through Alien and I think Alien could’ve had better and more original abilities if they weren’t trying to do this

    It's a tried and true concept to give a killer some kind of map mobility and chasing power. The fact that it's non human and the fact that both killers follow this concept is naturally going to make people compare to each other. They are quite different though.

    Unfortunately Alien's mobility is pretty much a power creep of Demo's. Demo can place them wherever he pleases but you're going to set them up near gens anyway. His detection is also worse. Alien can crawl through the tunnels and hear survivors and gens above and when they crawl out near a survivor they get killer instinct right when they need it without being slowed down. To top it off, Demo has a cooldown on his mobility while Xeno doesn't.

    Their chase powers are pretty different from each other though. Xenos tail works a bit like Nemesis' tentacle and Slinger's gun while demogorgon is more similar to Huntress and can destroy pallets as opposed to Xeno. Also, Demo's power is a lot easier to use and hit than Xeno's.

    The only thing i think xeno lacks is the wall climbing. Which i bet how fun thatd be to program.

    I'm aware but it's abilities just seem so similar (also correct me if I'm wrong but didn't they use the tunnels to trap humans for facehuggers, they used the vents for movement didn't they?)

    True but it's not just the fact that they're both inhumane, it's just the aliens power just seems like a lesser version of demo :/
