I've never heard of a Praetorian alien. I thought the life cycle was egg, facehugger, chestburster, drone, Queen. Queens were either born from a "special" egg/facehugger or "mutated" from a drone in a Queen-less environment. I think I read that in one of those Alien novels, forever ago.
Whenever they expand on any kind of lore they add layers. There wasn't even going to be a queen alien until James Cameron came up with the idea. The eggs were suppose to develope from the dead bodies of people that had a drone in it. But look at the Alien in Alien 3, which wasn't just a drone. It has been called a lot of things. The most popular is a dog alien.
But that may also be due to the fact it was part dog and nothing to do with the life cycle of an alien. But they also said it was suppose to protect the queen and it was a warrior alien. Which then later was given to the Praetorian alien.
Who again, would totally destroy a seasoned Pred.
