Living Hive

The ability to turn one's body into a living hive, and control the insects in a symbiotic relationship. Also known as Swarm Mimicry.

Capability
The user has a symbiotic relationship with whatever insects he or she is sharing a body with. The insects get food from either the person or from whatever the person wants them to devour, and the person uses them for their needs. With the multitude of insects inside them, the user can use these them to eat people or other obstructions in a matter of minutes or even seconds. The user may even be able to control other insects in the vicinity, adding to the number of insects in the hive.

Applications

 * Using ants they can lift things, several thousand could lift and subdue targets. With millions they could lift a vehicle.
 * With the poisons most insects produce as a means of defense, they can easily poison and kill people with millions of bites or stings. By directing insects down the throat, they could easily suffocate a victim. Even a few ants down the throat could cause suffocation due to the small amount of stings closing the wind pipe. By swarming thousands of bees, hornets or wasps the target can be stung to death.
 * With the use of thousands of locusts or caterpillars they can devour surrounding plant life.
 * With any insect of a small size (so that means most insects) they can scout areas. The insects will report what they find to the "hive".
 * May have other life forms than simply insects.

Associations

 * May accompany Insect or Animal Manipulation.
 * May accompany Poison Generation.

Limits

 * May be unable/find it difficult to return to original shape.
