The Alien queen is ultimately the production unit for all Alien life forms.

These conditions are only provided by the spawning chambers inside an Alien building, which also provide a food source by plugging directly into the Queenspawn's blood supply.

I, UltimateKane99, creator of most of the X-Com Advanced links in this site, including all the Aliens links and the Alien Artifacts links, have yet to beat the Queenspawn. I've been having too much fun blowing everything else out of the sky to bother with the alien dimension yet. However, I will update this with information once I find out. In the meantime, here are a few rumors.

To Capture: The Queenspawn apparently has very long and VERY POWERFUL claws on its appendages. These are supposed to shred your troops easily. Thankfully, it's a melee weapon, but still. In order to capture it alive, have your men stand back and throw COUNTLESS stun grenades at the Queenspawn. Once you have weakened it a little, shoot it once or twice with a light weapon, like a pistol or something. Armor stats unknown for this creature. This should hurt it a little and then the stun grenades should knock it out. Once it's knocked out, I suggest moving about 3 units in close to it with stun grapples, to incapacitate it again if it wakes up. Not certain how effective these are, though. Guess you'll just have to find out!

The Queenspawn is the large mother worm responsible for the propagation of the Multiworm Eggs. There is only one queen and it is found in the Alien Dimension's Spawning Chamber. It is the largest alien fought in Battlescape.

There is only one chance to capture a live specimen of the Queenspawn. Successful capture is one of the requirements for Anti Alien Gas weapons that provide an area-effect variant of the Toxigun toxin for use in the final confrontations with the aliens.

Tactical Notes

The Queenspawn rests on a raised platform littered with its eggs. It is protected by laser curtains that surround the sides of the platform. The hall in front of the platform houses four troop reinforcement pads that provide additional guards.

The Queenspawn is extremely tough, but immobile. It can whip enemies with its tentacles, which can kill any unshielded X-COM agent with a single hit, even through Disruptor Armor. As the game lacks a melee attack mechanic, this is treated as a projectile attack, and has a surprisingly long range. Fortunately, it has a low rate of fire and the projectiles are slow and easily avoided. Furthermore, the Queenspawn has a limited field of fire, leaving its sides vulnerable. The Multiworm Eggs that surround it pose little to no threat to well-armored X-COM Agents. The greatest potential danger involving the Queenspawn is getting hit by one of its projectiles while distracted by its guards.

For advice on how to capture the Queenspawn, see Capturing Live Aliens.
