The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the queen's frightful presence for the next 24 hours.

Legendary Actions

Claw: 1 action. The xenomorph queen makes a claw attack at a target within range.

Forced Evolution: 3 actions. The xenomorph queen forces a xenomorph drone within 60 ft, of her to undergo forced evolution. The drone enters a cocoon-like state and after one round emerges as any xenomorph monstrosity up to a CR 6.

Lair Actions

On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the queen can take a lair action to cause one of the following lair effects: the queen can't use the same effect two rounds in a row:

• The queen shrieks into the air. 1d4 Drones crawl form the walls and join the fight.
• The queen shrieks into the air. 1d4 Face Hugger's hatch and join the fight.
• The queen shrieks into the air. A section of the floor 40 ft in radius begins accumulating a viscous slime like substance. Any non-xenomorph creature attempting to cross the section must move at half speed or succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity check every 15 ft or fall prone.

Queens are much larger than Drones and Warriors. They stand approximately twenty feet tall at the hip. They have twin sets of arms and are built more similarly to a large theropod dinosaur than a humanoid. They also have a much larger braincase than the average adult Xenomorph, protected by a large crest above their heads. They have a slightly stronger tail, which can be used as a weapon, along with their limbs and an inner jaw, as shown in the climactic battle with Ripley in Aliens. Due to their immense size, they are extremely strong.
