A Palatine is a Xenomorph that resembles a Queen-sized Praetorian or Drone. These Xenomorphs can be extremely aggressive to life forms that do not come from Xenomorph Prime. They are also the Queen Mother's personal guard and are only native to Xenomorph Prime.
Characteristics
Palatines look like Drones but are larger and slimmer. They also have tines on their head. They reside in large, egg-shaped pods that surround the Queen Mother's chamber. There are only five Palatines at a time. Palatines also are faster than most Xenomorphs.
Despite their appearance of over-sized Drones, Palatines act a lot like the Warrior caste with their extremely aggressive nature. The Palatines are also strong enough to destroy a Caterpillar P-5000 Work Loader.
Evolution
Palatines are capable of molting into a Xenomorph Queen Mother when exposed to Royal Jelly, but it is unknown if they can evolve any further.
