The Alien Queen is female xenomorph capable of laying eggs which makes a debut in Aliens.
She is much bigger that the warrior xenomorph and has a distinctly fan-like exoskeleton covering her head.
She has two pairs of hands, one pair smaller and the other larger. She lays eggs one at a time but at a great speed through a large segmented ovipositor, or egg-laying organ, supported by an imposing organic platform which looks like insect legs. If necessity dictates it, she can detach herself from the ovipositor and the platform.
Aliens is a 1986 science fiction action film directed by James Cameron and starring Sigourney Weaver, Carrie Henn, Michael Biehn, Lance Henriksen, William Hope, and Bill Paxton. A sequel to the 1979 film Alien, Aliens follows Weaver's character Ellen Ripley as she returns to the planet where her crew encountered the hostile Alien creature, this time accompanied by a unit of Colonial Marines.
