Yeah, its a giant bug, its just I'm seeing some subtle shapes in there and being as vague as I possibly can, Im seeing things I don't want to see.
Btw, this isn't the same bug that Blair fights in the ending cutscene, is it? If it is, the one he fought worked out a lot more. Otherwise, I don't seem to recall this one in the game.

Remember that those were only concept sketches - the Kraken and the Moray looked better and more refined in the game, IMO.
The Overlord who confronted Blair at the end of WCP looks a bit like the Queen picture, only thinner and without the weapon thing on the head. I think that weapon thing is weird. Most things about the Nephilim look biological in nature - yet that weapon looks like a piece of technology grafted onto the head.
Funny, I envisioned the Queen as some giant squishy thingy pumping out loads of eggs.
It could be that the Overlord we see in WCP was based on the Queen concept sketch, but they decided to call it the Overlord instead. I don't know, I don't even have the book.

Whoops, yeah, I meant Warlord. 
Erm, no. I've only seen bits of Alien Resurrection, and that's it. But if the Nephilim could be considered an insectile race with a 'Queen' or a "mother creature", it makes sense to think of the Queen in the same manner as we think of Queen insects in reality. Okay, so drop the squishy bit then...
What you've described was the Queen from Aliens to a tee.
However, why do insectoid species from outer space have to be similar to insectoid species on Earth. Why should they be structured in hives just because they have an exoskeleten. Why can't they have mommies and daddies instead of mommy and...... you know......

Well, the bird would be original. The only bird I can think of right now is a Firekkan.
Anything which isn't humanoid would also be impractical. Without an actor, you'd have to go with a puppet (yuck, except maybe Yoda, but he's still humanoid) or animation, which is expensive. IIRC, there were over a dozen puppeteers for the original Jabba!

The metal thing on her head is the Nephilim equivalent of a rifle.
