I remember being told about an Alien Empress. It was explained to me as the one that rules over the mothers. The Queen rules over a hive. A mother rules over a planet. An empress rules over multiple planets.

[@shaunrussell4174]

It’s actually the other way around; you were right about the Queen ruling a hive, but an Empress rules multiple hives seeing as she is a step above a regular queen. She becomes Empress due to the size of the hive constantly growing or if there are multiple queens in one hive; they battle until one kills all her sisters and she becomes Empress. A Queen mother or Mother Queen becomes that way due to years and years of existing and she rules over the entire xenomorph species, and she’s the only one who can birth queens herself.

I think it's also worth it to note that according to cannon lore, Xenos are a race that assimilates the most useful functions of the races they use to reproduce, and if the lineage continues then the genetic modifications are passed along the ancestry. This is why they are also very intelligent creatures.

They "morph" because they are xenomorphs. By their nature, they evolve every generation, and can gestate in any living thing (possibly even synthetics). That's why they are the perfect organism. Presumably after several generations of bursting through humans, via several successive queens, Xenomorphs would be very human, but bigger, faster, more powerful, cunning, hive-mind, and mature within a couple days. The human race would become a biological "Borg" race.

[@brianquinones8123]

Some minor corrections to add: Warriors and soldiers are interchangeable while drones are depicted as slightly larger in their chest and arms and perform nest maintenance and development functions. This is made so because the intent was to be analogous to a degree to ants, not bees. This is clarified a few times in the books and almost absolutely stated to be directly similar in Alien Genocide and Alien Harvest. The standard xeno takes a few hours but they also require large amounts of biomass to consume for each of their molts, which is explained in Steel Egg. The skull shape differences between movies are design choices rather than having any significance, which is why Alien ‘79 and the xeno homeworld in the comics are nearly identical. The praetorians serve as guards as well as successors as the books state bluntly that if a queen dies, her surviving praetorians will fight to the death until one remains and the survivor will consume large amounts of royal jelly to force the molt and transformation into the next queen. Separately, the royal eggs are actually massive (about four times the normal size) and shown on panel in some of the comics. The newer movies including prometheus and covenant literally shit on the prior DECADES of canon by rewriting the space jockeys as well as the xenomorph origin. The space jockeys were previously shown on panel transporting eggs as a dangerous trade commodity because the eggs were apparently highly sought after for fancy food when cooked properly. The explanation of the ‘79 jockey crash was actually provided in the comics as a poorly secured egg that jostled free of its seal and opened, impregnating the jockey and forcing the crash Ellen Ripley’s crew came across.

There's also a few unique types in the AVP Extinction game. An upgraded Praetorian could be cocooned into a Carrier or Ravager. Carriers could carry live facehuggers on their back spines instead of remaining dormant in eggs. Ravagers were pure war variants that are unique for killing prey outright, instead of rendering it comatose for impregnation. Ravagers were best used against the K-Series of genetically modified xenomorphs.

@@mmediocrist you can't drop such a controversial claim and not back it up. I'd love to know what that loose end is because that's certainly not what the film was intended to do

[@jclark2752]

For a short time when I was growing up, Xenomorphs had a (Better) different evolution. Instead of these predetermined forms, the xenomorph took on different shapes depending on the host animal it was grown within. There were 'dog' xenomorphs, for example, with a morphology taken from their Dog hosts. Similarly, one could imagine rhino xenomorphs, gorilla xenomorphs, even snake xenomorphs! The version seen in the first film was specifically the 'Human' itteration. The queen was fine, though perhaps even she was a result of a progression that could have taken other subtler form variants, but the idea was that the xenomorph was designed to adapt to whatever the dominant lifeform was in any ecosystem and then weaponize their adaptations. Thus it would be equally deadly on an all aquatic planet, for example, or one with other natural challenges. I specifically remember an awesome line of toy figures with this concept. They weren't cheap, but they were awesome! I wish this lore was brought back into play! It is much cooler in my opinion...

[@johndiddilyjoe6258]

Absolutely loved this Kroft! Also of I'm not mistaken, from the Accounts of the Earth War and Dark Horse comics, the Xenomorphs (and the queen) are able to communicate telepathically with other Xenomorphs as well as people and can also understand the way people will act (such as attacking or not). I could be mistaken though, but that's as good as I can remember it.

[@dylan9124]

Unfortunately it wouldn't be much of a fight. Any physical damage sustained by the thing would still result in the two organisms coming into contact, which is all The Thing needs to begin assimilating a host organism. The "original thing" could then escape in whatever dimished form it was left in (assuming it didn't put up a fight, which I doubt... both lifeforms are inherently fierce). What is interesting, though, is the fact that we'd likely end up with a Xenomorph/Thing hybrid... the ultimate big bad?

[@slayton21]

It'd be a short, very one-sided fight. The Thing would quickly enter the Aliens at a molecular level, and spread across the whole species until it reached the Queen, giving birth to an even stronger Alien life form. It'd make them even tougher and dangerous.

[@TheCharlesJackson]

[@jessegivens2167]

That isn't actually the case. I respect OPs attempt to decipher xenomorph history/lore, but he has so, so many things incorrect. David is currently experimenting with the biology of xenomorph species, but the true narrative suggests that the xenomorph we know and love and fear was around long before he started.

Also the ravager (atleast thats what i remember its name to be) was a "pure blood" alien that required so many evo points to get a praetorian to evolve into it as well as carriers which had facehuggers attached to its back leaping from and instakilling any unit that didn't have some sort of face protection like the flamethrower marine units and acted as an egg in that it gave the facehuggers the nutrients they needed outside of their egg to not near instantly die..
