Starfinder: Xenomorph Dragon

See this content in the original post

No one has ever figured out how this creature came to be, although it is speculated that like some of the other Xeno’s, it is possible that a dragon-like entity ended up consuming an egg and was infected by the face-hugger.

There has only ever been a single one of these creatures encountered, and it was thought that the Xenomorph T-rex was the largest and deadliest of the species, but somehow this monstrosity managed to be stronger and deadlier than that particular specimen.

It shares all the typical Xenomorph characteristics, and is as intelligent as a Queen.

If that was not bad enough, this particular version is capable of laying eggs, but unlike an actual queen, it is not a stationary creature, attached to a massive egg-sack. It can move freely and lay eggs at will, although it requires time to do so. It does not create hive like the other queens, but has an actual lair like the creature it was spawned from.  Often it leaves this lair and travels from location to location, depositing eggs for any hapless creature to find.

The lair of the beast is filled with all manner of technological items, armor, weapons, and valuables. It has retained the instinct of its original host and enjoys hoarding these items. Do not believe for a second that just because it leaves its lair it is safe to enter – the lair also contains un-opened eggs, carefully hidden by this monstrosity to be a deterrent to any would-be treasure seekers.

Also it does not command other Xenomorphs like a queen, and other Xeno’s seem to have an instinctive fear of this monstrosity, and will avoid coming near it at all costs. Any Xenomorphs hatched in the creature’s lair will always flee, because if the creature finds them inside the lair, they will become its next meal.

She is intelligent, but cannot speak and will not speak to others. Anyone she encounters will be consumed as a meal, after she kills them and takes their valuables.
