Ankheg Blood Queen

An ankheg brood queen is very rarely seen, as it spends most of its time deep underground where it is well protected by its brood.

Egg layer

The brood queen is about twice the size of a normal adult ankheg and has a huge bloated abdomen filled with egg sacs. When threatened, it will lay eggs in which broodlings will hatch from and they will immediately protect their queen.

Fiercely Territorial

The brood queen is cunning and very paranoid. Its territory stretches for miles and it will actively hunt down any other potential brood queen threat, even if it is its progeny.

Directors

If ankheg attacks appear to be coordinated and organized, chances are a brood queen is behind them. Adventurers may be hired for the dangerous task of finding its lair and killing it.
