The mother of the hive, she directs its operation and is the only reproductive female. She oversees everything from hive construction to the location of suitable hosts. It is believed that she communicates her will through the secretion of pheromones or an empathic link. She has a higher intelligence level than the Soldiers and Drones. The Queen is born in a similar way to the Soldier alien. However, due to her more complicated structure her incubation period is longer -- several days instead of several hours. The Queen's cranium is larger and flatter and she stands approximately two to three feet taller than the Soldier aliens. Queens create and lay eggs through the use of her extended abdomen and can survive for an undetermined amount of time without it. She has four arms instead of two.
