Hive queens are the leaders and broodmothers of the hive.1

Appearance

A hive queen resembles an enormous insect armoured in black chitin, with caustic saliva dripping from her mandibles. A hive queen is 17 feet tall and weighs 2,100 pounds.1

Ecology

Hive queens are created through advanced fleshwarping procedures. Normally, they are dormant and concern themselves with laying eggs, only defending their clutch when the hive is threatened. A hive queen that survives her colony's destruction rampages and destroys everything in her path until she can find a suitable location to build another colony.1
