Notes

• There is no limit on how many Hivelings can be alive at one time.
• In the Get fixed boi seed, Hives are 3x larger.

Trivia

• The Bestiary entry for the Hive: "Amalgamations of several creatures, with all of their features rendered unrecognizable after being fused into a singular being. Unable to act on their own due to its immense mass, hives choose instead to split off small parts of themselves to fight for them."

• The Bestiary entry for the Hiveling: "Hivelings may be rather unthreatening alone, though dangerous in large numbers. Being simply extensions of a hive, they lack a preservation instinct, and fight ferociously to the death so that they may serve the greater whole."
