They will relentlessly defend their Queen even in the face of overwhelming odds. The White Spikes show no hesitation to charge into battle, sacrificing their lives without question to ensure her safety and to fulfill her commands.

Hive Mind Connection: As part of the hive mind, each White Spike feels the pulse of their Queen’s desires and commands. This mental bond ensures that the White Spikes will always fight in unison, with a singular purpose: to shield and serve their Queen. If she is in danger, they experience it as their own personal threat, heightening their aggression and willingness to act. Protection Over All: The White Spikes are trained, or rather conditioned, to view the Queen’s safety as the highest priority. Their hive mind doesn’t allow for hesitation or indecision; any threat to her will be met with swift and decisive action. Adaptive Strategies: The White Spikes will adapt to combat situations to maximize their ability to protect their Queen. Whether it’s creating a defensive perimeter, overwhelming the enemy with sheer numbers, or even attacking in coordinated strikes to incapacitate opponents, they will adjust according to what is needed. Never Retreat: Even when faced with certain death, the White Spikes will not retreat. If the Queen is threatened, every instinct drives them forward to either neutralize the threat or die trying. This willful devotion to the Queen is what makes them so dangerous in combat, as they are capable of acts of aggression and self-sacrifice that most other species would find incomprehensible.
