The Xenomorph Queen, also known as the Alien Queen, is the matriarch of the Xenomorphs in the Alien film series.
Appearance
The Xenomorph Queen is significantly larger and stronger than basic Xenomorphs. She is approximately 20 feet tall when standing erect and 53 feet in length. Her body structure differs also, having two smaller arms located on her chest, a larger inner jaw, two sets of dorsal spikes and a much longer, segmented tail. The Queen's head is shaped like a crown and larger than other adult Xenomorphs. The exact shape of the crown can vary from Queen-to-Queen. Unlike other Xenomorphs, the Queen also has high heel protrusions from her feet. In Alien: Resurrection, another Queen possessed more subtle changes, including a shimmering, brown-green coloration to her skin while also possessing a large womb.

Fate
In Aliens, a Xenomorph Queen is defeated when she and Ellen Ripley fall into an airlock during their fight, whereupon she opens it up, causing the Queen to be shot out into space, likely burning up as she re-enters the atmosphere. In Alien: Resurrection, a cloned Xenomorph Queen is killed when a human/Xenomorph hybrid tears off her face with its bare hands just after giving birth to it. In Alien vs. Predator, an individual Queen from Antarctica is defeated when she was chained to an iron separating vat by Alexa Woods and the Predator Scar, whereupon she is dumped into the ocean and dragged to the depths below.
