ZyzzyxMeet Zyzzyx! He was once a humble larva in the vast earth hives of his people. Like anyone born to the soldier caste, he grew larger and larger on a steady diet of enzyme-liquified meat. While the drones born during his brood season developed multiple carrying arms and storage pouches, he developed barbed striking appendages and powerful clawed feet. He and his brood mates, though young, enjoyed a happy existence of flying around and slaughtering colonies of smaller - and very annoying - mutant insects.
Sadly, all good things must come to an end, and while he was out on patrol one day a swarm of enormous hornets came and wiped out the entire hive. Confused by the sudden loss of his connection to the hive mind, Zyzzyx wandered aimlessly until he stumbled upon a village of strange creatures. some of them had strange powers, some of them had no powers at all, and some of them had parts of their bodies that were made out of something called "metal". He had no place else to go, and the villagers didn't seem to mind his presence, so he decided to stick around.
At first, communicating with the villagers was difficult. For some reason, they didn't understand what things like "Ch ch ch ch clik clik" and "Zikkk ki ki ki zik zik" meant. What was wrong with them? He tried to copy the funny sounds the villagers kept making with their mouths, but it was no use. Why couldn't they just make clicking noises? Eventually, he figured out that he could send them his thoughts, just like he used to do with his hive mates. He wishes that he could hear their thoughts too, especially since so much of what they do is strange and confusing, but so far he hasn't been able to do so. There must be something wrong with the villagers. What strange creatures!
