Thinking they are a strange bunch, the Queen pays no mind to it, figuring it is due to them having human blood within then and thinks she may have some in her as well for finding it intriguing. One of the Squadron Leaders suggests they increase their security around the nest and inquires if they can all have names, to which she agrees. Soon after birthing a large amount of Squadron Leaders she summons them to her chambers and informs them that she will focus her time getting ready for the birth of the King. She births more and more powerful soldiers led by Colt while also spawning construction ants to build her a nest. ĭue to NGL being a neo-Luddite nation forbidding the use of modern technology within its borders, news of the giant Chimera Ant infestation is slow to reach the outside world. By chance, one of the soldier ants gathers two human children and feeds them to the Queen she finds this food more delicious and nutritious than prior prey and subsequently orders her soldiers to concentrate on gathering humans. Driven by her reproductive instincts, the Queen immediately begins to feed on small mammals and aquatic life in order to heal and give birth to soldier Ants, which she uses to gather larger prey in greater amounts. Her severed arm is carried by the currents far north. The Chimera Ant Queen washes up injured on the shores of the Neo-Green Life Autonomous Region, a small insular nation located on an island known as the Mitene Union. How the Chimera Ant Queen ended up drifting in the oceans of the archipelago inhabited by humans and how she was injured is unknown. She speculated that she bore human genetic material, yet whether this is true or not and how this would have come to be is unknown. However, the revelation that she did not originate in the " Known World" could provide an alternative, more accurate explanation to her size. Since Chimera Ant queens usually measure up to 10 centimeters in size, the Queen is believed to have undergone a mutation that caused her to increase in size. She was so fascinated with the concept of names that she chose those of the Royal Guards and the King himself. By her own admission, her interest in the growing individualism of her soldiers made her unusual compared to other members of her species, which she attributed to human ancestry. Even as she was dying because of him, her only concerns were whether he was born healthy. The Chimera Ant Queen was completely dedicated to her goal of giving birth to a King, such that she focused on it solely, and desired for him to stand at the top of all life.
