![]() Even Evil Has Standards: Everyone present at Meruem's birth is horrified at how callously he kills off and even eats his fellow Ants.Previous arcs had body counts in the tens- this has it in the hundreds. Darker and Edgier: Their arc is significantly the darkest of the series thus far.The ants themselves begin to evolve a sense of morality as soon as the first humans are consumed, and this theme permeates all of the development of the ants. Each one is more detailed in their respective folders. ![]() Character Development: The King, Pitou and Youpi arguably go through more of this than even the protagonists, especially the King.Combine the above issue with their human behavior, and there’s really nothing distinguishing the ‘ant threat’ from pretty much any human adversary.The series at least tries to justify this by adding the special factor that whatever a Chimera Ant Queen eats is 'assimilated' into their potential genetic chain, to the point that humans devoured can even regain their memories of their past life regardless of their new form.He has to verbalize his loyalty to the queen to know he’s related at-all to the ants. Then there’s the pink mafioso koala in a tuxedo, out, alone, in the middle of the forest.A few will have a mammal's body and insect-like limbs, for example, while others will look like a combination of several non-insect animals, while another simply looks like a large cartoon penguin. Call a Smeerp a "Rabbit": While some information about the Chimera Ants demonstrates some surprising depth of knowledge, most of the "ants" look nothing like insects in the least.Bug War: What they trigger, a much more strategical and Shounen variant to the norm given how smart the "bugs" are.Bodyguarding a Badass: The Royal Guards are powerful, but it is clear that the King is much more powerful than them.Big Creepy-Crawlies: It's noted that the Queen should have only been 10 cm, not over 2 m.They get their chance when Queen dies, but they're put down before they can really get started. Big Bad Wannabe: A number of them chafe at following orders and express a desire to set out to carve empires of their own.Authority Equals Asskicking: The King plus his royal guard are the strongest possible creatures produced by the Queen.Assimilation Backfire: Though taking human DNA makes them stronger, smarter, and more powerful, it leads to their downfall by giving them a sense of individuality, which creates rivalries and ambitions that tear apart the army.Then there's the Royal Guards and the Chimera Ant King. The human-hybrid ants are even stronger and smarter, eventually learning how to use Nen after encounters with users like Gon and Killua. They're typically very small, but a Queen somehow bigger than most humans manages to find itself in a nation filled with animals, going on to consume them and eventually most of the human population too, creating super-powerful ants that quickly take over. Ant Assault: They are carnivorous invasive insects hailing from the Dark Continent, whose members are created from the DNA of whatever the Queen eats.
