Ash is one of cinema's classic hidden-android reveals. He appears completely human until Parker strikes him during his attack on Ripley, causing Ash to malfunction and exposing white synthetic fluid and mechanical components. His head is knocked off and later reconnected to power so the crew can interrogate the still-functioning android about his orders.
