In the initial cut of Alien, the Alien possessed a complete life cycle, with the still-living bodies of its victims converted into eggs. The Strausse Brothers, directors of the film, have since said that this is a stage between adult and queen known as Praetorian, by which a young queen attempts to quickly build its army before it grows the egg sack and cannot defend itself.
Predator: Requiem also features a new form of oral implantation, by which the "Predalien" mimics the action of facehuggers, directly depositing multiple chestburster embryos into a host via its inner jaw. Unlike insect queens, there appears to be no need for drones to fertilize an Alien queen's eggs. When attached to its ovipositor, the queen is supported by a "biomechanical throne" that consists of a lattice of struts resembling massive insect legs. The queen is able to detach from the ovipositor. Pregnant Alien queens possess an immense ovipositor on their lower torso, similar to a queen termite's, which is responsible for creating eggs. The queen also seems to have increased intelligence compared to the other forms of the xenomorph, as the queen on LV-426 was able to learn to operate an elevator. Unlike other Aliens, the queen also has high heel protrusions from her feet. The queen's head is larger than other adult Aliens and is protected by a large flat crest. Their body structure differs also, having two pairs of arms, one large and one small. Queen Aliens are significantly larger and stronger than the warriors, approximately 4.5 metres (15 ft) tall. Due to the transfer of DNA during the gestation period, the Alien also takes on some of the basic physical attributes of the host from which it was born.

The chestburster then matures to an adult phase within a few hours, shedding its skin in the process. The facehugger then "impregnates" the host with an embryo known as a chestburster, which, after a gestation period of several hours, erupts violently from the host's chest resulting in the death of the host. Their life cycle comprises several distinct stages: they begin their lives as an egg, which hatches a parasitic larval form known as a facehugger, which then attaches itself to a living host by latching onto its face.
