New Killer Idea: The Brood Queen

Full disclosure: this idea is an exact copy I posted for Xenomorph if it ever entered the game. A lot of people couldn’t get over the idea of survivors surviving a chest-burst, so I’m reposting this as a different killer with the same mechanisms. There are minor modifications away from Alien terminology.
This killer looks like a humanoid mantis. The special power is Brood:
- Put egg “traps” around the map.
- If a survivor gets close, a scorpion-esque Brood Drone leaps out and stings them (survivor screams of course). This injures the survivor and infects them with a Brood Queen embryo.
- After attacking, the Brood Drone will the patrol the area for 30 seconds (bot AI) looking for other nearby victims before it curls up and dies.
- At the time of her choosing, the killer can teleport (Freddy style) to an infected survivor and crawl out of their belly as a new, immature Brood Queen. This injures the survivor, but they also receive 30 seconds of Endurance. Over the next 15 seconds, the Brood Queen grows to achieve normal size. She can chase, but cannot attack until matured, which is visually indicated by her molting off a crumbling exoskeleton.
The Teleport is selected by choosing a survivor icon at the bottom of the screen, so that the killer doesn’t actually know where they are in the game field.
Open to modification ideas!
