What is a hive of xenomorphs?

the dead bodies of Xenomorphs and other creatures such as hosts will be used to reinforce the hives defense structure
During in times of war with a host species, the drones will begin secreting stationary organisms called hive nodes that will create a unique hive web for them
The Xenomorphs can secrete hydrocarbon based resins from their mouths that hardens into a shell of solid material to allow them to fashion a hive in a short amount of time

A hive is a complex hive structure that’s made and secreted by the Xenomorphs in the form of drool and slimy substances
Certain chambers of the hive can have diluted derivative pools of the liquid secreted from the Xenomorphs to preform genetic alterations on a hosts body to be more suitable for production for the type of chestbuster needed most in a hive
which is why they make their hives beneath something that already has typical warm heat like heat exchangers or reactor cores that are also as leverage where people couldn’t destroy their eggs without destroying themselves first
What do you think of casting Emma Watson as the next James Bond?
They can also make the hive resins in trees like a spider web to hang Facehugger eggs in them and cause anyone that falls into them to be tangled up and immobilized by it
Respect the perfect organisms
Or causing an artificial intelligence like Apollo itself to get unverified readings and interference from the reactor core due to the hive resins
Like causing interference in motion trackers that implies that the entire area is awash with sporadic movement, making genuine readings harder to spot despite
The resins can raise the atmospheric temperatures within the Hive to meet its necessary requirements as hydrocarbons cause combustion when in contact with oxygen so it produces carbon dioxide and water while also releasing massive amounts of heat energy making the hive feel hot and humid like a sauna
Xenomorphs can use the resins to heal any life threatening wounds suffered by a host during capture by stemming blood flow and making sure they live long enough to serve as a host for Facehuggers

Meaning stuff like radar technology is utterly useless at locating the hive since most forms of hydrocarbon based materials can cause interference with radar signals due to the low dielectric constants in them
As a result of this, the hives very life web can even slowly destroy the natural ecosystems of entire planets
Hive resins have been know to cause interference with machinery by generating false readings, Which is due to hydrocarbon gases causing chemical reactions with sensor electrodes and tricking the sensors into having false positive readings
and the water vapor is a greenhouse gas that absorbs a significant amount of infrared (IR) radiation in the Earth's atmosphere with 2 effects: increasing the diabatic radiative heating of the atmosphere and reducing the amount of insolation that reaches the surface
Hive resins on the walls can also cause a disorientating maze and making escape from and/or assaults on the Hive all the more difficult
Hive nodes are well armored, can regenerate quickly, extend movement range for Facehuggers, and can emit spores that attaches to a living creature and relays what they see to nearby xenos through ambient radiation as a early warning system for the hive
the carbon dioxide and water vapor being produced in the hive resins will also have a greenhouse effect, which is a natural process that warms the Earth's surface by trapping heat from the sun in the atmosphere
They grow acid secreting tendrils into anything they attach to and leeches nutrients from surrounding materials including plants, soil, carcasses, metal and even microorganisms to grow a web of living encrustations that xenos can use to regenerate faster as nutrients by touching it
Meaning it’ll act as a “blanket” in large concentrations against infrared since the molecule absorbs the energy, vibrates, and then re-emits the radiation in all directions, with some of it directed back towards the Earth's surface
They can also create smaller bases around the main hive for warriors and drones to live in to help guard the hive and can also camouflage in the hive resins to ambush enemies or prey unexpectedly
