The King design was intended to be much more masculine than the feminine design of the Queen.

Working in direct partnership with Legacy Effects, the artists and nightmare makers behind the creatures and Queen from Aliens, Sideshow Collectibles created the King Alien maquette to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Alien franchise. Behind the Scenes Sideshow Collectibles design It is also said to be fairly mobile and fast moving for something of its size. It has been noted that the King possesses enhanced regenerative abilities, specifically linked to the consumption of its enemies. The King ranges in height from slightly taller than a Queen to towering several stories over its smaller brethren. Its regular dorsal spines possess a shape similar to most normal Xenomorphs, and not the spike-shaped spines of the Queens and other related castes. The King also possesses two barb-tipped tail-like structures on either side of its four dorsal spines. Its tail possesses rows of spines similar to the caudal whorls of a crocodile instead of the single row of most Xenomorphs. It possesses large talon-like claws and a powerful tail which allow it to tear through even the armor of tanks. Much like several other castes of Xenomorphs, the King is capable of spitting acid, which is known to be extremely corrosive. Another difference is the lack of ventral arms that Queens have. The King is also much more rigid and bulkier looking than his 'female' counterpart.

Parallel to its jaws, a pair of tusk-like protrusions jut out of its crest, though they seem too small to be used offensively. Much like its Queen counterpart, the King possesses a large head crest, which is much more ornate than the Queen's.
