Something that was never seen before in an Alien film, the Predalien is capable of implanting embryos down people's throats using its inner jaw. It was explained by the Strause brothers, that the Predalien was a Queen, that used this method as a temporary mechanism before maturing enough to lay eggs (this is in spite of the errors in anatomy, as there's no way the embryos can travel to the woman's womb through her throat). This was also touched upon before, in the assembly cut of Alien 3 (1992), where a special type of facehugger is seen capable of implanting two embryos, one, a regular Alien, and the other, a Queen, inside Ripley and an Ox (a dog in the theatrical cut), which explains how there could be two Aliens in the film, despite what appears to be only one egg on the Sulaco. This facehugger's corpse can be seen next to the ox's dead body for a brief second, despite the facehugger clearly looking like a normal one in the opening scene of the film. Despite this, AVP: Alien vs. Predator (2004) shows that a normal facehugger impregnated the Predator, which would eventually become a host to a Predalien. This is either a continuity error, or a deliberate retcon by the directors.
