Matriarch

In order to understand the Xenomorph Matriarch, we first need to understand the xenomorph.

The Xenomorph is a form of alien life that reproduces using other species as a host for embryos that burst out of the hosts chest, killing them in the process. The hosts DNA is used in this process and affects the xenomorph’s appearance slightly. Xenomorphs born from a human host are capable of walking upright and possess opposable thumbs. Xenomorphs born from other species take on minor aspects such as these. All stages of the xenomorph have acidic blood.

The full xenomorph lifecycle goes like this: Every xenomorph starts its life as an egg, or an ovomorph. The egg is about the size of a basketball, and has a sticky, organic, white-green appearance. On top is an opening with 4 triangular flaps that cover the inside. This egg contains a spider-like creature that comes out when stimulated by motion or touch. The spider like creature then crawls out and seeks out heat and sound. This stage of the lifecycle is called a facehugger. They have a pasty white colored skin, and have “fingers” that serve as their legs. They also have a long tail, that helps them with their goal. On its underside is opening that looks like a vagina. They possess no eyes, ears, or even a face. Like a spider, they have 8 legs, that look like human fingers, even possessing fingernails. Their only objective in life is to implant the embryo they carry into a suitable host. They do this by attacking their potential host’s face and trying to shove a proboscis down their throat. They are fast and agile. They do this by wrapping their legs around the back of their potential host’s head, and wrapping their tail around their neck. Once secured, the facehugger will implant the embryo and stay attached until it’s certain that the embryo will survive. They are difficult to remove, and their acidic blood threatens the person or thing being impregnated if injured, adding another layer of danger. Finally, they also will strangle the victim if someone tries to remove it before its job is done. After it’s job is complete, the facehugger dies.

The next stage of the lifecycle is called the chestburster. The embryo implanted by the facehugger grows quickly, and in a matter of a day or a mere few hours, the embryo has grown to about 8-12 inches long, and desires to leave the host. It does this by breaking through the ribcage of the host, killing them in the process. The chestburster than goes and hides somewhere dark and safe. Its appearance is almost that a short worm or a short snake. It has a skull with an elongated head, and a mouth, with a smaller, retractable mouth inside, that can extend outside of the larger mouth. It has black slimy skin. This creature grows very quickly, and within a matter of hours has reached its full size, most of the time never growing past its next stage.

The next stage in its lifecycle is simply, the xenomorph, or drone. This is where the horrific alien gets its namesake. It is almost humanoid in appearance, 2 legs, and 2 arms. It stands anywhere from 7 to 8 feet tall, and can crawl on all fours or stand upright. It still has the same black slimy skin it had when it was a chestburster, but it’s become more complex, having an almost biomechanical texture on its arms, legs, and torso. It has several protrusions from its back that don’t seem to have any purpose. The largest of these protrusions are tubular. It is constantly slimy and sticky. Its head is even more elongated, and while it has an eyeless face about the size of that of a human in width and height, its length is at least 4 feet long, with a slight curve as it goes back. Its neck is attached to the middle of this curved elongated head. The top of its head is barely translucent, and in bright light, a human looking skull is visible inside, just being elongated. Its eye sockets are empty, so the xenomorph must sense its prey in another manner. Outside of bright light, the top of the head appears opaque. The next part that separates it from humans is its backwards knee in its legs. Another detail of its appearance is its tail. A lethal weapon, akin to a spear, but flexible, prehensile, segmented, each segment sharp and hostile, tipped with a sharp pointed end. Its arms are slightly longer than human proportion, and have sharp claws. They can crawl on any surface, and can run up to 30 miles per hour easily. Their objective is to eliminate hostile life, and find vulnerable hosts to abduct for face huggers to impregnate. Their greatest goal is to protect the next stage of their lifecycle.

The queen is the final stage of the xenomorph lifecycle. Like ants, if a queen is present, no other queens are necessary or allowed. Queens are much larger than drones, standing up to 16 feet tall and having all its proportions match or slightly exceed that of the drones. If the queen was the same size as a drone, it would have slightly longer arms, legs, and slightly longer torso and head. But it is much, much larger. It is also thinner in proportion to a drone, if they were the same size, but this doesn’t diminish the queens strength. They are very similar in appearance to drones, but are bigger, and have longer protrusions on their backs. They also have a wide crest made of some hard organic material on their heads, almost like a crown. The final difference between the queen and drones, is the queen having a second set of smaller arms. These arms are about the size of a drones, and are used for tasks while their main arms are busy. Being so large, they often can’t get around as easily as drones, so they tend to hide somewhere safe and attach themselves to an organ that allows them to create eggs. They can attach and detach from this organ at will, but it is painful. This egg laying organ is about 6 feet tall and 4 feet wide, and can be extremely long. It is yellow-orange in color, and is translucent. It pumps out about 15 eggs per hour, and isn’t very resistant to attack. In comparison the queens skin is immune to small arms fire and is quite resilient.

All together the xenomorphs work like bees, or ants, working like a hive, with the queen at the top. The queen is the most intelligent, even understanding threats and negotiation, even without the ability to speak or use any kind of sign language. Drones are smart as well, but not nearly as much as the queen. If I had to compare their intelligence to real animals, the queen would be like the most intelligent monkeys while drones are like the smartest dogs. They secrete a sticky substance that is used to coat the surfaces of their environment, and once it build up enough it becomes black and hard underneath.

Normally, the queen would be the rare, but final step of a xenomorph’s lifecycle. But there is an even greater form of the xenomorph, never seen before. On a planet known as Vraven, there is a very rare fuel source that is harvested. This fuel is great for space ships, but is terrible for most life. It is radioactive, and potentially explosive. After a spaceship infested with Xenomorphs crashes on Vraven, the xenomorphs spread across the planet. In a year the eastern hemisphere is almost entirely controlled by the hives. 20 queens control different parts of the continent, each being sure not to encroach on the other queen’s territory. The humans on Vraven hide and run, while the humans in orbit of the planet try to come up with a way to contain the xenomorph infestation, before finding a way to exterminate them. Deep in the mines of the planet, a unique xenomorph is born. Mutated by the planets fuels, it grows even faster than its kin, quickly becoming a new queen. With a change of pace, this new queen claims territory by commanding its children to kill members of other hives. After about a year, she grows into an entirely new stage of the lifecycle. She is now over 20 feet tall and even stronger than before. She is basically a queen that grew even bigger, and has every part of her being enhanced. She’s bigger, smarter, faster, and more dominant. She’s about as smart as a human teenager. This new stage of life is called, the Xenomorph Matriarch. The Matriarch orders her hive to kill all the other queens, and subjugates all the remaining drones to be under her command. Now the entire xenomorph population of Vraven is under her control.

The Matriarch’s newfound intelligence is put to use. She knows that the humans on the planet are running out, and the process of impregnating them and then having them die to give birth to a chestburster isn’t efficient. She uses her intelligence and her mutated body to somehow create eggs that have facehuggers, that have embryos that don’t kill the host. Instead the chestbursters come out of the mouth or the butthole. By keeping the hosts alive, they can be used to make infinitely more drones. Hosts are now kept alive by the drones, and even allowed to roam around the hive, so long as they don’t escape. Healthy hosts equal healthy xenomorphs after all.

During the Matriarch’s rise to power and reign, the humans in orbit come up with a chemical weapon to end the xenomorph threat. This chemical alters their genes to be incapable of producing eggs. The chemical is spread across the planet and penetrates deep into the ground, eventually making the Matriarch herself incapable of laying eggs. For years the Matriarch cannot do anything to change it, much to her dismay. Then, she comes up with an idea. Using her mutated DNA, and a little creativity, she is able to skip 2 parts of the Xenomorph lifecycle. First, since she is unable to create eggs of any kind, she ditches that idea entirely, and instead produces the eggs in her own body. Facehuggers were the next step she tried, but they don’t last long outside their eggs, so while she still creates them from time to time, she had to develop a more direct means of impregnating hosts.

Through intense focus, and manipulation of her mutant genes, the Matriarch is able to create a new organ. Half uterus, and half phallus, this new organ appears like an alien penis. It is long and has a bulbous pointed tip, with its urethral opening being on the top side of the pointed tip. Near the base is a bulbous knot, and like that of a canine penis, it is intended to keep the penis inside the host during orgasm. The embryos that the penis creates are about the size of a human egg, and can be implanted in the potential hosts mouth, ass, or vagina. The embryos are propelled by a white viscous liquid, similar to cum, which is stored with the embryos in the Matriarch’s large heavy testicles, that hang under her penis and in between her legs.

Now the Matriarch travels with a pack of drones, that she commands to bring her potential hosts for her to impregnate.
