![]() In Hunter x Hunter, however, the Chimera Ants are unreservedly vicious. They just follow the instincts and aren’t cruel on purpose. In Parasyte /Kiseijuu, for example, the Parasytes are apathetic and coldly rational compared to humans. In some of my other favorite anime, there are examples of intelligent, nonhuman creatures devouring humans. In the ensuing paragraphs, I’ll show how each of these distinctly human characteristics contributed to the fall of the Chimera Ants. Factors Leading to Chimera Ants’ Defeat: Human NatureĮarlier, I mentioned the human traits of purposeful cruelty, greed, and excessive individualism (the last of which led to complete disregard for social cohesion). I believe it was the inherited human natures that sabotaged the Chimeras more than their animal senses.Ģ. On top of that, they would have had to overcome human issues. But that would have required overcoming all the natural driving forces of behavior in the examples above. Had they been more unified, cautious, and strategic, the Chimera Ants would have lived longer. Real or fiction, koalas have nasty tempers in both cases. Yet Chimera Ant personalities aren’t always based around their past animal lives the Koala Captain in ep 79 is sort of an “intellectual,” while real koalas are… well, stupid. Most genera of Penguins in reality are considered quite intelligent, having complex social systems and forms of communication. Peggi, the Captain who looks like a penguin, is one of the most enlightened and studious members of the colony, and the least aggressive. Shrikes are territorial, predatory birds that kill by impaling small animals on thorns and wires. ![]() Though he looks like a rabbit, Rammot also has feathers and behavioral genes from the bull-headed shrike. He is thus domineering, egotystical, and eager to hunt and kill things. Hagya has the traits of male lions and tigers. ![]() Even if the Queen hadn’t eaten so many of the “evil” drug-and-gun dealers from NGL, the Ants she gave birth to would still be ferocious (though perhaps less diabolical).Ĭonsider as well that the tendencies of other organisms besides humans and insects sometimes show up in Chimera Ants. As Kite says in episode 82, Chimera Ants have always been unusually aggressive animals. Speaking generally, there are differences between Chimera Ants and humans which, once known, make it clear how much the latter are still animals. If they had been more secretitive and selective with their prey after dispersal, some would have succeeded in starting their own colonies. If they had taken humans more seriously, researching them and fighting them cautiously, they would certainly have survived longer. The Squad Leaders don’t think of humans as smart enemies, but only prey. If she had spent more time disciplining Squad Leaders like Yunju, and rewarding the ones like Colt and Bihorn, maybe there wouldn’t have been a breakdown in command. The Queen focuses only on birthing Meruem and ignores every other issue. Factors Leading to Chimera Ants’ Defeat: Animal Instincts In addition to human nature, a few troublesome animal instincts also held these creatures back. This gave the next generations of Chimera Ants human traits, such as cruelty, greed, and individuality. Their end was decided early on, when the Queen demanded a diet comprised primarily of humans. The point of today’s discourse is to show what factors played into the debacle of the Chimera Ants. Welcome one of what might be several Hunter x Hunter Chimera Ant Discussions.
