Hunter X Hunter Chimera Ants

Part 1. Killua arrives at Meruem’s palace and is summoned before the King. He explains to His Majesty that he wishes to have his join the ranks of the Royal Guard, whereas His Majesty announces that he has a different job for him. The criminal organization known as Spider has begun attacking the convicts being transported from one prison to another, thus creating a serious threat to his country’s peace and safety. Watch HD Hunter X Hunter Handa and x Heng, who have been part of the Pseudo–Hunter Examination Committee for 12 years. They are fake Hunters who just fool others by wearing the Hunter’s license. Since there are so many real Hunter who have real powers, ordinary people can get injured by these fake Hunters, unless other real Hunters stop them, in order to maintain the safety of ordinary people they were made to become the pseudo-Hunters.

Hunter X Hunter Chimera Ants

Chimera Ants (キメラ゠アント or キメラ蟻アント, Kimera Anto) are extremely dangerous insects designated quarantine level one. Also known as “Gourmet Ants” (グルメアント, Gurume Anto) due to carefully selecting their food, they have voracious appetites and can consume several times their own weight within a single day. It is not uncommon for Chimera Ants to devour their preferred fodder species to extinction. In general, not even Chimera Ant queens become bigger than 10 centimeters, but gigantic Chimera Ant queens (over 2 meters tall)^[1] can be found in the Dark Continent. The Hunter Association classified the colony led by Meruem as a B level threat.

Biology

Chimera Ant queens possess an entirely unique method of reproduction known as Phagogenesis (摂せっ食しょく交こう配はい, Sesshoku Kōhai), a term meaning reproduction through devouring. By eating other creatures, a Chimera Ant queen can impart the characteristics of ingested creatures onto the next generation of Chimera Ants it gives birth to. For example, if the queen were to eat a butterfly, the offspring might be born with butterfly wings. Furthermore, if the queen devours multiple different species in a single sitting, then the offspring will have the genes and characteristics of those multiple species. If the queen devoured a butterfly, a crab, and a fish, the offspring might have butterfly wings, crab claws, and a fish tail. Though, regardless of what traits they possess, Chimera Ants are still ultimately insects. The queen can produce up to five eggs with one meal. To take full advantage of the genes of a particular species, Chimera Ants have been known to feed until the fodder species is driven to extinction in its ecosystem. Humans in particular are known to be extremely nutritious fodder for Chimera Ant queens.

Due to this unique method of reproduction, each generation of Chimera Ants is profoundly different from the one that preceded it, and even individual Ants from the same generation exhibit profound genetic differences, which are expressed by their unique appearance: a fodder species/Ant hybrid, the former component depending on the queen’s diet. Notably, regardless of their non-insect genes, many of them retain arthropod legs.

Thanks to the unique method of reproduction of the species, Chimera Ant soldiers often inherit advantageous traits of the fodder species the queen fed on. Should the prey in question be humans, the resulting Ants will be more intelligent than ones born from wild animals to different extents, stronger, have the ability to talk, learn and operate machinery such as firearms, and even the potential to use Nen. Conversely, some of the more primitive ones are capable of feeling aura without seeing it, possibly due to their superior affinity with nature. Higher-ranked soldier Ants are born with the ability to see aura.

Chimera Ants are capable of surviving decapitation for a whole day. However, this is not always the case for those born with human genes, including the Queen herself, who died as a result of having several organs destroyed by her son. Like all other living beings, they need to breathe, although the manner in which they do so varies with their genes.

It is unknown how ordinary Chimera Ants communicate. The Queen who drifted from the Dark Continent to the human world could issue orders telepathically, possibly with the aid of specific sound signals. Despite her high level of intelligence, however, the fodder species she feeds on affects the mental and communication abilities of her offspring, to the point that some of them may be unable to express complex concepts that an Ant with human intelligence would ordinarily be able to understand. Some soldier Ants born with human genes acquired the ability to speak while also retaining their telepathy, whereas Royal Guards (and, presumably, kings) lack telepathy altogether and can resort exclusively to verbal communication.

Ants have been around for millions of years, and are one of the most abundant creatures on Earth. They have been found almost everywhere except Antarctica, with their greatest diversity in tropical regions. Some ants have even been found at heights over 13,000 feet above sea level!
