Dweller Queen

*For the Dweller life cycle, see here.
The Dweller Queen is a massive creature that can be encountered deep within the sewers in The Cloud. It is the largest of all Dwellers and is the ruler of the hive. Like the queens of ants, bees, or naked mole rats, the Queen is the only Dweller to give birth, and she is impregnated by the drones.
The Queen closely resembles the soldiers in design, possessing a more muscular body and spikes along the shoulders and back. There are some major differences, though. The Dweller Queen is approximately 15 feet tall. The Queen is completely immobile, due to most of her body being composed of a massive external womb/uterus, similar in appearance to an ovipositor. This external womb/uterus allows the Queen to give live-birth to approximately 10-12 larvae at a time. The Queen's head is much larger than that of a normal Dweller, and her frill surrounds her entire head and extends a good four feet.
The Queen possesses no legs, and therefore can't move or defend herself. Because of this, she is protected at all times by several Dweller soldiers. Killing the Queen is a good way to prevent any other Dwellers from ever being spawned, provided players make sure to kill all of the larvae.
