Did you forget that the tail wraps around your neck, and when you start prying on the legs they tighten their tail? They’ll choke you to death if you try to remove them. You can’t cut them off, because the powerful acid will kill the person. They’re perfectly evolved for this one thing. Kinda crazy, since this is the first time they’ve met people, but they’re already perfectly evolved to prey on people.

Surely those fingers couldn’t have that strong a grip on their head? I reckon I could take one off me.

Idk you ever hold a tiny beetle and get to feel how oddly strong and grippy their legs are?

Don’t underestimate inverts. Coconut crabs are a little bigger, and are strong enough to climb trees. An alien facehugger could be just as strong and you wouldn’t be able to get it ofd with brute force.

Once they start deep throating you it’s game over. Some like it, too!

You gotta deal with its ovipositor shoved down your esophagus and its tail around your neck squeezing tight. Havent you seen Alien?
