<p style="margin:0px0px11px;">

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;">

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;">

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;">

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;">

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;"> Name: Chimera Ant

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;"> Threat Level: B

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;"> Habitat/Location: Potentially anywhere. Although both normal and mutated Chimera Ants were found in NGL.

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;"> Abilities: Phagogenesis, meaning the Queen eats creatures and her spawn can have traits of up to three of the various attributes attributed to creatures she ate.

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;"> Incredibly rare ones that eat humans were able to unlock and use Nen. These rare ones are also incredibly large and are highly intelligent.

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;"> Number: B ranking, a few hundred to a few thousand

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;"> Description/ speculation: Chimera Ants are incredibly dangerous creatures that come from the Dark Continent. Chimera Ants are normally around 2mm long and typically only adapt the traits of insects they can swarm, that or larger creatures that they swarm and bring into their gene pool.

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;"> The Chimera Ant Queen in the show was a mutated female Chimera Ant that grew to a ridiculous size (2 Meters). It is unknown how she got that big, it was speculated that it was some sort of mutation. It is highly unlikely that Chimera Ants on the Dark Continent are ever allowed to get that big and powerful. On the Dark Continent they are likely their normal 2mm sized selves. Because of the various conditions benefiting her, she was able to develop incredibly powerful offspring. It was said that each generation of Chimera Ant is a genetically different species from the last. The most powerful of these species to ever exist was the ant king Meruem and his three royal guards, Pitou, Youpi and Pouf. It is likely that there will be no creatures individually more powerful than Meruem. It is likely that these four Ants are not included when considering the threat levels as they are rarities among their own species.

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;">

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;"> Name: Ai

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;"> Threat Level: A

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;"> Habitat/ Location: South-Southwest of lake Mobius. Preassembly by some sort of liquid or volcanic area as Republic of Minbo was searching for the Trinity Elixir and the Ai are a Gaseous Life From.

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;"> Abilities: Unknown. They seem to be very large and made completely out of gas.

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;"> Number: It is unknown how many exist, but there are at least five present in the picture presented of them. There are likely hundreds/

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;"> Description/Speculation: It was said that the group looking for the Trinity Elixir was surrounded and some unknown dispute of struggle ensued with only three survivors with no shred of their sanity. Some speculate that Alluka’s alter ego, Nanika (Who is confirmed to be from the Dark Continent) is an Ai. However, this is merely speculation and has not been confirmed. The victims of the Ai appear to have been wound up and or smashed. The creature’s title is the Codependence of desire. This might mean it requires a host to interact with creatures. This could be why their ferocity rating is A-2, as their existence depends on the destruction of other life-forms. An encounter with them is likely to result in death.

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;">

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;"> Name: Brion

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;"> Threat Level: B+/A

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;"> Habitat/Location: Guarding a Labyrinth in a town 400 km from the edge of a forest North of Lake Mabius.

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;"> Abilities: Is a Botanical Weapon, it’s power is unknown.

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;"> Number: C – 10 to 100

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;"> Description/Speculation: The Brion seems to take over human host and transforms them into incredibly powerful beast. My speculation on the creature is that they guard and were created by the Herbs that are able to cure over 100 diseases. Whether they are a product of ancient technology or some other thing is unknown. They were known to have decimated all but two members of the party.

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;"> Name: Zombae Disease

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;"> Threat Level: B+

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;"> Habitat/Location: The South-east portion of the Dark Continent.

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;"> Abilities: High fatality rate, only one person on Beyond Netero’s expedition party who had it has ever survived.

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;"> Number: E equals none

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;"> Description/Speculation: The one person who survived it how has the uncanny capacity to live entirely self-sufficiently without substance for many years by the subject feeding on one’s self. It has a very fast regenerative ability. It is unknown how it is contracted and there is no known cure. It is possible that Don Freeces, who has been traveling the Dark Continent for 300 years, has this disease and was able to survive.

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;">

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;"> Name: Hellbell

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;"> Threat Level: A

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;"> Habitat/Location: Swamplands situated south of Lake Mobius. (Likely can live in both water and land)

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;"> Abilities: The Hellbell, if bitten, can infect its prey with homicidal desires. As seen by its victim, it is likely large enough to be able to contract them to death.

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;"> Number: Unknown, but likely several thousands, if not more.

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;"> Description/Speculation: The Hellbell is a seemingly large snake (probably around the size of an Anaconda) that is able to infect its victim with homicidal desire. This could be some advanced form of rabies. Given their possible numbers, it is likely that this is what killed 99% of the forces of the Federation of Ochima, leaving only 11 survivors. Meaning they/ it managed to kill 1089 people. Given their ratings, these are the most violently aggressive creatures on the chart.

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;">

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;"> Name: Pup

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;"> Threat Level: A

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;"> Habitat/Location: Located in a mountain range in the North-northwestern section of the Dark Continent. (Likely subterranean)

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;"> Abilities: Sprouts feelers which it inserts into the skulls of it’s victims. It appears to drain the victims, shrinking them, while giving them an intense amount of pleasure. This may be how it makes “pets” out of man and is referred to as the “trade-off between life and pleasure”.

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;"> Number: Unknown. Could be one, could be many.

<p style="margin:0px0px11px;"> Description/Speculation: The creature was encountered when the Begerosse Union sent 100 people on an expedition North of Lake Mobius in search of a rare mineral known as Ghost Stone. The party secured a route inside the rugged mountains, unbeknownst to them that it was the territory of a Pap. There were only seven survivors. This creature is very likely to share similarities with the plant from the novel and film “The Ruins” and the fungus from the X-Files. It is possible for its victims to escape with their lives even after being attacked by it. Although most of the time damage is likely permanent. Of all the five calamites, this one is most likely a very large, individual creature that takes up the entire cavern system beneath the mountains. If I was to speculate, I would think that it would sneak into people at night while they were sleeping, or catch isolated individuals. It likely has millions of tendrils that move through the ground and various cracks and crevasses in the mountain that lead to its layer.
