Using Latex, silicone or scaring wax, they were able to make a variety of looks, making scars and old battle injures.

Using grease paint to give a dirty look to them, since dwarfs, fight, feast and mine. Using bald caps.on some was also a need, and appyling crepe hair to females also creates a look.

Trained whippets and greyhounds were also dressed in carefully constructed foam suits, paw covers and headpieces to emulate the alien like movement of the Runner xenomorphs, designed to be a deadly dog like alien. It also saved time for animatronic artists to work on larger or smaller more detailed xenomorphs such as the ovomorphs, face huggers, royal face huggers and most importantly the Queen xenomorph.

The use of what they had at the time in the late 80’s / early 90’s (while still wanting to use mainly practical effects without it coming across tacky was very impressive. They would first dress the dogs in an all green suit so that if any part of the dog was to be shown it could be simply edited out to leave only the costume and mask in the scene creating the perfect Runner Xenomorph.

Mainly wanna recreate the car crash injuries like this

In this tv show there are many cuts and wounds through the series made by supernatural creatures. To make these wounds they would have used silicone to make deep wounds and then used fake blood in different textures to create depth and realism. They would also use alcohol paints as this works well with silicone and makes a cohesive look on the actor. In this photo they have a broken nose so they have very runny blood as the nose has burst capillaries so there is a lot of blood flow and there for a very bloody wound. They also use prosthetics in this show to show very nasty and deep wounds for instant when something gets beheaded or cut in half to make it look very realistic.
