Personality
Leol, for the most part, is a very calm and collected Chimera Ant. He does, however, have a cruel side to him. He, like the rest of Chimera Ants, enjoys killing humans, and even remarked that killing them is highly addictive. Leol is also socially proficient, which is displayed through the tactics he employs to gain other people's Nen abilities. He was one of the few Ants, that were not particularly loyal squadron leaders, and would kill more humans than bringing them to the Queen. Leol also doesn't want anyone to know about his Nen ability, he does show it to Welfin, Hina, and Flutter, however he lies about how it actually works. Aside from this, Leol can also be laid-back at times, as he does seem to enjoy listening to music.
