Description
Species: MolekatCasts:
Worker, Female-Sterile. Comes from normal litters. Never see the light of day. Makes the tunnels and tends to the farm.
Queen, Disperser stage-Mobile queens. Once she grows up, she leaves the colony to make her own or take over another company. The dispersers have fat tails to survive the harsh desert. If she meets a dispersing King, they mate and dig a hole. The queen grows much larger, and grows into a Reproductive Queen.
Queen, Reproductive Stage-Baby factory. Once a colony of molekats has grown big enough (about 30-40), the queen starts having royal litters once a year, in the beginning of the wet season. These babies develop into the kings and queens. Fueled by hormones produced by the Queen in they're milk, the mature in less than two months. When she is dying, a new queen will sense it and try to take over.
Worker, Male- Come from normal litters. They spend their day above ground and protect the colony, and bring in beetles to farm. They have enlarged teeth and hooking claws to defend the colony from rivals and predators.
King, Disperser-Mobile Kings. Come from royal litters. They disperse and try to start a new colony or take over an old one. If they find a Disperser Queen, they will mate and start a colony.
King, Reproducer-The one reproductive male. Once they settle down, they grow bigger teeth and claws. They are the last line of defense for the Queen, which he guards.
A relative of the meerkat, this mongoose lives underground. They farm beetles for food. The soldiers bring home the beetles, which the workers raise. Most beetles breed, and they eat some of the grubs as well. Of course, this doesn't always work, so the soldiers are always bringing new ones home. The soldiers also bring in wood that the beetles eat. Sometimes yellow mongooses make homes in their tunnels, and in exchange for the home, they act as sentries, freeing up jobs for the soldiers.
