Name of final queen?
As someone who has only watched the first five movies (yes, five, many regrets were had) and Prometheus, I am unfamiliar with the "new" alien lorebits. This game and fireteam elite's pathogen DLC have me confused. Can someone elaborate what that final "boss" queen was? That didn't look like the Engineer-based xenomorph type, but maybe I'm wrong. What were those corpses on the walls?

Help a confused and lost fella out :3

Big Fugly SomBish. It doesn't translate into English well but I believe that's close enough.

I never like that terrible ideal that man made xenomorph. I like to think the black goo comes from the facehuger.

Alien 3 confirmed that the xenomorph take element from their host so large host make large xenomorphs.

This games follow the lore of Alien: Sea of Sorrows. In it the xenomorph "wake up" after whipping out all life that can be host.

The original creature on this planet was huge and the xenomorph took that. Then they "Slept" with no viable host.

It was actually the...Engineers (had to look that one up) that created the xenomorph bioweapon with human DNA being the key to the Alien. It kinda makes sense to me that way.

In Prometheus, the black goo was kind of a defensive mechanism to protect the eggs (which makes sense and can be seen in multiple forms on Earth, particularly the Pieris brassicae who's eggs can induce localized cell death by releasing salicylic acid)...and yes I had to look this up but I swear I'm not a nerd.
