Along with the other creatures seen in the film, conceptual artist Constantine Sekeris originally proposed a radical redesign of the Queen as part of Edge FX's bid to develop the movie's creature effects. Among other differences, the Queen was proposed as a four-legged creature, far more insectile than previous Queens. However, the ideas were deemed too far removed from the Queens seen previously in the series and were rejected. Even once a design more comparable to the First Acheron Queen had been settled upon, several notable divergences were still proposed. For example, it was originally planned to include a far more pronounced line of spines along the top of the Queen's head crest; while these spines are present in the film, they are more subtle that in original concept sketches. Other differences between the Alien vs. Predator Queen when compared to the one in Aliens that made it into the film include her greater height, her thinner, more "streamlined" body (a result of no longer needing to encase puppeteers inside the model), sharper and spikier head crest, thinner, and more muscular neck. The Queen's hands also lack the distinct holes seen on the Acheron Queen.
