Beru

Ant King. Beru is the shadow of the Ant King.

Appearance[]

Beru has a tall, lean, and insectoid form wrapped in a sleek, black exoskeleton that glows faintly with eerie violet and electric blue energy. His body is a fusion of monstrous elegance and lethal precision—sharp, angular armor plates resembling the hardened carapace of an apex predator. Long, clawed limbs and jagged, blade-like protrusions accentuate his combat-ready appearance, while his face is mostly hidden beneath a menacing helm-like crown, glowing with ominous purple eyes. From his back stretch massive, ethereal energy wings or tendrils that ripple like liquid flame, adding a ghostly aura and regal intensity to his already fearsome presence. He radiates power, loyalty, and cold precision—both terrifying and majestic in his role as a protector and executioner. A fusion of insectoid terror, shadowy knight, and arcane force, Beru is the perfect symbol of unrelenting dominance and unwavering fealty to his monarch.

Secret File[]

Beru was born to lead the ants.
He was born to help the queen lead and protect his kind from the enemies outside.

From the day he hatched, the queen gave him an order he could not disobey:

"Exterminate all humans."

At first, that purpose was all Beru needed.

So he sought the power to fulfill it.
To achieve that, he had to devour anything and everything that he could get his hands on.
Even if that means consuming his own kind.

Beru accumulated the immense power he had so desperately desired under the queen's watchful eye.
All that remained was to find a new home for the swarm- just as soon as preparations were complete.

The queen's plan was well underway.
Then the island was attacked once more.

The queen gathered her legions to prepare for one last battle, whispering in his ear:

"No matter how many of my children are sacrificed, you must survive. Survive and lead the rest.

My precious, devour the intruders.

For the prosperity of my kingdom."

Beru faithfully carried out the queen's orders...
Until he no longer had the strength, and at last, was free...
