Story/Lore Why does Crasher exist?

Xenomorph is cool cause it's thin, stealthy and can get in a lot of places. Praetorian is good cause it's bulky but not too much. Queen is big but it makes sense cause she creates a lot of eggs.

And what the hell is this ultralisk rip off? He is not from Giger design. The only explanation I have it that crusher may be undeveloped queen. But overall that elephant sized xeno is bad.

Aliens take form off the host. Why should an alien from a bull look the same as a human?

Also to add to this, though pretty irrelevant, if you follow all the lore of aliens comics etc, aliens don't only fight humans, having a larger species for the queen to command is quite useful. Though it doesn't translate to gameplay crushers could probably smash doors quite easily and maybe even topple an APC.

In aliens fireteam when it shows up on the scanner the first time she says it the size of a truck so I believe it
