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 [[X-COM_Disruptor_Armor|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.

A massive tentacled beast only encountered once.

Infiltration
A Queenspawn does not appear within any building.

Combat

Unit

A Queenspawn is very resistant to psionics.

The Queenspawn is the progenitor of all alien life within the Alien Dimension.
The Queenspawn is only found once. It uses two grown-in weapons for combat: an extremely strong enzyme spit for long range attack and a poweful whip effect from its tentacles when a hostile is nearby.
The Queenspawn is a massive lifeform with health to match. As it is a unque alien, the priority is to capture it alive. Stunning a queenspawn is a tedious and dangerous endeavour. The queenspawn's health must be reduced by two-thirds before any stun effects can neutralise the alien.
Note: The unconscious alien will look the same as it does when dead. When trying to stun it, do not assume you killed it accidently.

Resistance
A Queenspawn is slightly resistant to stun gas and stun grapple, resistant to Toxin-A whereas Toxin-B has a more potent effect.

Queenspawn research is an important step for understanding alien infiltration, lifecycle, weaknesses and their final agenda.
