BOSS HIVE [1/2] (Patreon)

The Hive is the core and ruler of the swarm, capable of breeding even human females and creating and controlling all swarm organisms. It requires immense bio-energy and uses its massive tentacles to transport eggs or defend itself. A long central funnel-shaped organ allows it to collect genetic material or inject it into targets, enhancing or transforming them. It has an obsession with collecting the genes of strong human females. Genetically similar to octopuses but with traces of human DNA, it is considered a hybrid species. As long as resources are provided, it is virtually immortal and completely immune to disease. Despite its human-like traits, its experience of being experimented on by humans has led it to see humanity as a threat, sending swarm warriors to hunt down every human it encounters.
