The final tier. Evolved from a Drone, the Queen is the mind of the Hive. Comparable to the Marine Commander, her primary function is to lead the Hive. Communication is key and the Hive should follow her orders with few questions.
The Queen can be tough to kill because she has the highest health of all aliens. She's a capable fighter when threatened, but she is very slow, and her increased health won't typically be enough to save her from a squad of Marines if she's caught in the open. Like a Hivelord or Praetorian, she's probably best used to supervise any combat, prepare defenses for the Hive, and oversee the infection of Hosts. If attacked, however, her Paralyzing Screech ability causes nearby Marines to drop what they're holding and be stunned long enough for any assisting aliens to completely take down a small squad.
She is responsible for laying the many eggs that will aid her brood in victory. These eggs are excellent defenses because Marines can't walk through them without being hugged. If a Queen has nothing else to do, she should be laying eggs all over the Hive like minefields in defense. Carriers and other sisters also use the eggs in combat.
The Queen has very strong corrosive acid that allows her to open new pathways or dissolve enemy weapons quickly.
