Hive Queen
The Hive Queen is a fictional character in Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game series. She is the central consciousness and physical embodiment of the group mind of the Formics. Along with the rest of her kind, the Hive Queen is regarded as the second-discovered ramen species. Physically, she controls her large colony of insect-like entities through faster-than-light philotic connections, rendering the individuals of the race as extensions of her body.
The Hive Queen is also the title of a fictional book written by Ender Wiggin under the pseudonym, Speaker for the Dead, usually sold coupled with The Hegemon.
