@RinoZ Whatever She is, please, give it time to develop as it should, no rushing!

2026-03-10 17:38:18 +0000 UTCWasps are also the closest relative of ants so it makes sense thematically

2026-01-24 19:28:10 +0000 UTCFire ant queen i think. Escaped from Legion(little ones) and slugs want it because its an ant

2026-01-22 12:43:31 +0000 UTCThis new candidate/character is really cool, but I don't think she's on the same level as Antony. If we stop to observe, wow, our little ant is way stronger.

2026-01-22 04:07:43 +0000 UTCSeems like electricity is one of their core abilities so my bet is on bees. Bees have always been strongly associated with electricity.

2026-01-21 17:15:51 +0000 UTCMy theory: she’s an intelligent Wasp Queen, with high lightning affinity, spawned from the First strata. She’s ready to create a new species of her kin that are extremely deadly. Worse than Termites, as all Wasps have wings. I also think she’s the second Ancient Candidate that was described by big ol slime daddy. She’s got the drive, and she made it further than Anthony has so far. Thunder Wasps? Thunderstorm Wasps? Very curious about this now.

2026-01-21 11:26:34 +0000 UTCMy money is on a bee of some kind! I could possibly see a wasp, but something is really appealing about a bee! (Maybe it’s the bad rap wasps get for being overly aggro?)
Caleb Herring
2026-01-21 11:12:33 +0000 UTCI don't think it can be termites. They are social and can have wings, but hives typically have artificial structures associated with them (I.E. paper or honeycomb) and termites don't have that. It might be some large wasp, but queen insects are relatively large (The Queen for the colony was only smaller than Anthony when he was tier 7) so the character in this chapter might be considering the sapients small relative to herself rather than the standard for her species.

2026-01-21 08:22:12 +0000 UTCWell after reading a bunch about six legged winged insects related to ants that have hives, I hope it's a bee because yay bees. Electric Bees! Thanks for the chapter!
CentaureHeart
2026-01-21 06:59:06 +0000 UTCIts a 6 legged insect queen who has a hive 1. Wasp/Hornet 2. Termite Queen who escaped and is trying to recover what she lost. (Possible? But some might find it boring so I opt to think its the above wasp) 3. Another Ant species (unlikely) 4. Bees (unlikely imo given we are likely to war with these) More specifically it could be a large variation of wasps (think like the Asian Giant Hornet) Also if you make both the same size and give them wings a wasp and ant are pretty similar in overall shape. It would make sense the Krath would chase her hard

2026-01-21 06:17:22 +0000 UTCMust be the legion or other sapients
Silent Consent
2026-01-21 06:03:37 +0000 UTCShe mentions the "grasping hands of the small ones", so we can assume the small ones to refer to one or more sapient biped races (such as humans, folk, brathian, magpei, etc). The term "colony" is used for termites, not "hive". She also notes this: "Danger only increased in the Dungeon, she had learned that painful lesson many times over as she had descended" ...which implies that she came from somewhere higher than the fourth. This is likely a bee or wasp. However... given the level of harassment by the Krath, it is easy to assume a wasp, given that wasps are relatives of ants.
andwhyisit
2026-01-21 05:24:49 +0000 UTCInteresting... Talking of "the hive", "small ones" (knowledge of the colony), and ones she "failed".... I'm assuming this is a termite queen.
Warley Echeverry
2026-01-21 04:45:19 +0000 UTCIt's the lost Termite queen. with an elemental-style revamp, if I have my layers right? Abyssal hells, this is either going to be a whole arc or they are going to get giga nuked by Athony instantly, and honestly I think it should be the latter unless there is a new complication other then elementalization the author can throw at it. We already had an anti-termite section. The running kill quest joke is already taken by the centipedes. Is it just me that wants them acknowledged, used for whatever plot device is required, nuked, and then gone? Without a giant campaign or needing Anthony to jump a tier to specifically overcome THEM?
Ronny Hancock
2026-01-21 04:37:28 +0000 UTCNever to be sufficiently accursed Termites...though that means the denizens of the 6th stratum may need Colony assistance...
Fred Bright
2026-01-21 03:39:00 +0000 UTCBees and wasps.
TheLostGolem
2026-01-21 02:55:41 +0000 UTCI love me some good foreshadowing.
Tyler Hoover
2026-01-21 02:52:23 +0000 UTCGreat thanks now I have to spend the next 2 hours looking up six legged insects that have wings and form hives. Because knowing is half the battle
due
2026-01-21 02:13:04 +0000 UTCTermites don't have wings, I don't think.

2026-01-21 02:00:30 +0000 UTCOoh, this must be the mysterious 'other candidate' Theorazzn set the slugs upon. Some kind of other ant queen species?
alt31415
2026-01-21 02:00:17 +0000 UTCOr termites...
Aeseof
2026-01-21 01:59:45 +0000 UTCEither wasps, hornets, or bees. I hope it's not hornets. Wasps would be cool. But bees make icalos happy.
Pyronite_OD
2026-01-21 01:49:48 +0000 UTC"The small ones" are humans? Cuz "grasping hands"?
Gardor
2026-01-21 01:47:24 +0000 UTCNah. I smell Wasp.
Navarog
2026-01-21 01:31:43 +0000 UTCLast thing she and Anthony are definitely the two “promising candidate” mentioned previously

Charles Long
2026-01-21 01:28:33 +0000 UTCMystery wasp queen, for a second I thought it was a different ant species. Wonder if it will be friend or ally, I amassuming she is a reincarnator too
Edmont Dantes
2026-01-21 01:28:30 +0000 UTCShe mentioned her spawning, went down several strata so she couldn’t have started in the 4th, the termite Queens the Ka’armodo designed seem pretty similar to RL ones (can only lay eggs and depend on colony to survive), this one has wings, no mention of the ants only sapients, Hive instead of Colony term. 1st few points rule out Kaarmodo termites. Hive term, makes me think of bees.
Gonvas
2026-01-21 01:28:24 +0000 UTCI think it’s a bee just based on how accurate the terminology has been so far. Also She’s probably a reincarnation or a champion.
Mohammed khaled
2026-01-21 01:28:20 +0000 UTCI thought spider.
Anthony Romanov
2026-01-21 01:27:05 +0000 UTCMy soul is telling me that’s a termite fam. There are no friends to be found there
Sly Trickster
2026-01-21 01:26:14 +0000 UTCTermite colonies aren't called hives so it's probably wasps considering those are insects that are actually related to ants
Isiah Debarros
2026-01-21 01:23:09 +0000 UTCA Bee or Wasp perhaps?
Crazy Abe
2026-01-21 01:18:32 +0000 UTCNot a termite queen. There are several signs...
Gonvas
2026-01-21 01:16:30 +0000 UTCLooks like a place where Tiny might be able to test his wings in
FluffyPrincess
2026-01-21 01:13:56 +0000 UTCThe is the pov of the other potential Ancient candidate. That's why she mentions the slugs being so in determined to capture her. The question is, what is she? She's had children already, but still has wings. She can't be an ant or a termite.
ZaneofBane
2026-01-21 01:13:33 +0000 UTCOh my god. The colonies first true ally, Anthony core manipulation for friendship

2026-01-21 01:12:45 +0000 UTCuntil the wings I had assumed a centipede!
crusaderstar
2026-01-21 01:10:23 +0000 UTCNo, it's a different queen, a newly spawned one. The Queen doesn't have the capability to sneak away unnoticed.

Scott Faulkner
2026-01-21 01:08:35 +0000 UTCThanks for the chapter! Oh, this is interesting, I wonder if this queen is one of the termit queens?
blucube 14
2026-01-21 01:08:06 +0000 UTCTermite colony 2 Electric Boogaloo? Or just a separate species of social insects?
UNKNOWN
2026-01-21 01:07:25 +0000 UTCWait is that the Queen Mother of All? Did she push through the fifth as her guard died or something?

Nebulous
2026-01-21 01:04:37 +0000 UTCProbably a wasp cuz ants are related to them
Isiah Debarros
2026-01-21 01:04:16 +0000 UTCI'm sorry, is this a new character, feels like a bee due to the word hive, but I've never read about bees in this book
