alien queen
Hive's supreme ruler
The alien queen is the reproductive leader of an extraterrestrial hive species, most iconically from the *Aliens* film franchise (1986).
She is larger, more intelligent, and more dangerous than her drones, laying eggs that perpetuate the colony.
The image has become shorthand for any terrifying matriarchal monster: The final boss was basically an alien queen with extra legs.
