Queen

The chimera ant queen is the first chimera ant to be seen in the series. Though chimera ant growth is generally limited to ten centimeters, a mutation has caused the queen to reach over two meters. She first appears in the story when she washes up injured on the shores of the autonomous region of Neo Green Life (or simply N.G.L.), a small insular nation located on an island known as the Mitene Union. Driven by her reproductive instincts, the queen immediately begins to feed on small mammals and aquatic life in order to give birth to soldier ants, which she uses to gather larger prey in greater amounts. By chance, one of the soldier ants gathers two human children and feeds them to the queen; she finds them more delicious and nutritious than prior prey and subsequently orders her soldiers to concentrate on gathering humans. Due to N.G.L. being a neo-Luditte nation forbidding the use of modern technology within its borders, news of the giant chimera ant infestation is slow to reach the outside world. She dies during the chimera ant king's forced, premature birth.
