Definition from Google because I had to look it up. I spy a general and some relatively rested Vespiary Squad , that hive queen can't be that much longer for this world. Br'fin 07:15, July 2, 2012 (UTC)

Even Tarvek is surprized the hive queen can move, much less that fast. Khrizhan should still have his piece of artillery. AndyAB99 10:23, July 2, 2012 (UTC)


Amazing how much a little motivation can speed things up, isn't it? --Kuopiofi 08:40, July 2, 2012 (UTC)

So, why and how is it moving around? New advancement by the Other, or did Bren do it?--68.205.143.175 18:29, July 2, 2012 (UTC)


I think this is the natural creature from which the Hive Engines were made, i.e. the original, unmessed with by the Other. It's a far better animal than the Hive Engine, vastly more capable of dealing with things for itself. If I'm right, the Other, bing the ultimate control freak, saw the absolute rule the Queens had over the lesser wasps and set about making them mere brood sacks for Slavers that would infect people and put them under the Other's control. If this thing makes slaves, it's keepin' 'em for itself! Lucrezia was tangled up in this redesign somehow, but I don't know how. I believe this thing is native to whereever the Geisters come from.

This construct has mechanical parts attached, which means it isn't a natural creature. Argadi (talk) 10:25, July 4, 2012 (UTC)
Obviously, she's being studied. She also shows clear signs of being chained to the floor. But she hasn't been degenerated into a semi-mechanical sack of goo, useless apart from spawning. I feel sure that the viewports, vents, and shackles are there to make life easier for her captors, not possible for her. Datkhound (talk) 16:03, July 4, 2012 (UTC)
Maybe this is what they are supposed to be, and the one on the Castle was old and decrepit, unable to solidify? I don't think the Woggleburg scene contradicts that.--68.205.143.175 04:20, July 7, 2012 (UTC)
