Several hunters were dispatched in order to stop the king and his army. The king and his royal guards had a plan to kill most of the citizens of East Gorteau, and those few who could use Nen would be turned into Chimera Ants in service to the King. A few ants helped the main characters fight against the king. None were successful, and those that weren't killed later joined Meruem. Meruem was shown to be ruthless even to the other ants, and he left with his royal guards to conquer the Republic of East Gorteau.Īfter the king left, most of the Chimera Ants spread and tried to become kings of their own. She called him Meruem, though he would not learn his name until later. Eventually, the queen gave birth to the King, but she died shortly after birthing him. The three royal guards were born learning Nen, and were much more powerful than the rest. Many of the Chimera Ants ended up learning Nen, and became more powerful. The Hunter association was sent to deal with the Chimera Ants. She ordered her soldiers to capture humans from the NGL to consume. She eventually ate two human children, and discovered that Chimera Ants produced from children had the ability to speak.

The queen inhabited a reclusive country called the NGL. The royal guard Shaiapouf was able to use Nen to turn humans into Chimera Ants. The three royal guards, as well as the king, were born as Nen, and were much more powerful than the rest of the ants. After this, most of the chimera ants learned Nen, an tried to feed human Nen users to the queen. The Chimera Ants discovered that some humans had the mystical ability of Nen, which made them stronger.

Chimera Ants often had memories of the humans used to create them. Humans became the primary diet of the queen and other ants, and the children all had human like traits and the ability to speak.

Eventually she discovered that eating humans produced strong and intelligent children. She was able to speak telepathically to her children. She was intelligent, though she could not speak normally. The queen in the story was a giant ant from the Dark Continent. Eventually, the queen will give birth to royal guards, and then to one or multiple kings, who will mate and sire a new queen. The children are soldier ants who initally serve the queen. As she eats other species, she gives birth to children who have traits of other species in a process called Phagogenesis.
