Hivemind

Difficulty: Bigbrain Rank: Hatchling (Starting), Young (10hrs), Mature (25hrs), Elder (70 hrs), Ancient (175 hrs) Duties: Heal, rally, and overwatch xenomorphs; trap overextending marines Guides: This Quote: "From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the elusiveness and certainty of psychic energy. I aspired to the purity of the Infinite Resin. Your kind cling to your flesh, as if it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass that you call a temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved, for the Hivemind is immortal . . . even in death I serve the Queen Mother."

The Hivemind

After the Hive experiemented with psychic potential from the sacrifices of many humans and xenomorphs' lives, they have created a caste like no other, one that have acquired heighten cognitive power to expand the resin world with its mind.

The Hivemind is the only semi-corporeal xenomorph that support the hive by building resin buildings, planting weeds, and healing critical/wounded xenomorphs. While marines recognized the hivemind's physical manifestation and shoot it down ONLY for it to come back, rarely any marines seen the glowing tower that is the Hivemind's core given that its true body is far from the frontline and behind a fortified and clandestine location.

The almost immortal Drone

Do not let any marines find your core. This spells game over for you.

Ensure that before evolving into a hivemind, you as a drone do the following:

• make resin walls that prevent marines from seeing your glow easily; Hivemind core glows, so don't make it easy for marines to see your glow
• go deep into caves that is not the frontline
• ask queen for hive leadership since hivemind cannot get assigned to hive leadership

An example of hiding the hivemind

To receive xenomorphs' assistance, have a Hivelord build a tunnel and plant acid wells near you. The acid wells will alert them that marines are nearby, and tunnels let xenomorphs quick travel to ward off marines from your core.

The hivemind has two states: incorporal and manifested.

While incorporal, you don't have access to any of your abilities. You can manifest on weeds, but this body of yours will be very fragile (literally 100 HP). If marines shoot and destroy your maifested form, you are ejected back to your incorporal state. You will remain in the incorporal mode until you recover all your manifested health.

The responsibilities of the hivemind are but not exclusive to:

• Weeding for the hive
• Building resin defense
• Relaying hive about marines' locations
• Notifying hive about marines' flanking and potential xenomorphs flanks
• Gathering minions for the true xenomorph hoard
• Saving critically wounded xenomorphs
• Blocking off marines' retreat (when hivenind is ancient, though)

The Queen gives up her overwatch role, but not her overwatch ability, to the Hivemind. You protect the hive with information that can be weaponized, quick reflex to heal horizontal xenomorphs, and building walls to block marines' retreat (or accidently your own sisters' retreat).

Maturity Statistics and Evolution Paths

The Hivemind cannot evolve nor mature. You cannot devolve from hivemind back to drone unless you ask an admin for help.
