The Queen

Ah yes... The Queen, a wretched parasite with an infinite ego. Just thinking about her gives me a headache. I don't know why I decided to put myself through reading this.
 Let's see what they came up with... It'll be fun to see what they got right and wrong. Maybe it'll piss her off for good. I'd certainly enjoy that.
 One day she will be nothing more than burnt wood. I'll make her pay for what she did to me. Both her and that decrepit old man will suffer for tossing me like a toy from the moment I was born. Now, if only I can figure out a way to kill those she controls without causing a mess...

==Description==
The Queen is a powerful entity located within a sub-level of The Hive known as “The Queen's Chamber”. 
Many details about the Queen are deemed conflicting or mysterious, since most reports about it vary in terms of information. Some consider it to be a harmful and terrifying being, while others see it as a benevolent incarnation of mother nature itself.
It is described to be an extremely tall tree-like creature illuminated by a pale light. The type of tree that it resembles varies based on different reports. The Queen went unnoticed in the past due to said appearance, but recent reports made by those who escaped its influence were able to uncover its identity.
The Queen was also witnessed in various other forms. The most common one resembles that of a humanoid female with long, radiant white hair and deep blue eyes. It is said to wear an elegant floral dress matching the color of its hair.
Others have additionally reported seeing The Queen in various forms resembling animals surrounded by light and adorned in flowers – most commonly a deer, a dove, or a swarm of butterflies. 
All of these forms have been observed in different places outside of the Queen's chambers, leading to the belief that the Queen is able to travel wherever it desires in a spiritual form, without having to move its true physical form (the tree) from its original location.
==Behaviors==
The Queen’s behavioral patterns are described to be parasitic in nature, overtaking the minds and bodies of wanderers who access its abode. This process first begins with the “Culling” phase, in which the entity implants a spore of its pollen in the wanderer, which remains dormant as the “Culled Ones” proceed with their lives.
The second phase of the process is known as “Blossoming”, though little information is known regarding how exactly it activates. Even those who successfully escaped the parasitic control of the entity state that they have no memory of the process itself beginning. When the “Blossoming” phase begins, the Culled Ones lose complete control of their mind and are taken over by The Queen itself. Their body also changes into that of the Queen's humanoid form, regardless of their original gender. The original mind of the host remains intact, but they are little more than a passenger trapped within their own body for the duration of the experience. The Queen is able to control the host's body and travel whenever she pleases. She is only able to healthily maintain one Blossoming host at a time, fating others to wither and die. It is unclear why The Queen attempts to control wanderers, but it is believed to be a means of acquiring knowledge and expanding its influence outside of its level.
The exact means of escaping the parasitic bond with the entity is unknown, as those who have done so are unaware of how they succeeded. It is generally recommended to resist the entity’s control as much as physically possible once aware of being “culled”. It is also recommended to avoid the Queen's chambers at any cost, as escaping the entity's control is difficult and more often leads to failure. One will often not realize to have become a Culled One until it is too late.
Detecting a Blossomed one is possible, although attempting to assist them is discouraged, as they could become a gateway for The Queen to cull those who approach them. It is recommended to avoid them and report any sightings of Blossomed ones to the M.E.G.
==Relations==
The Queen is regarded as an important figure in the myths of the Court, having ruled over it alongside the king as her husband. Other entities theorized to have been part of the court also seem to have great knowledge about her and her abilities. 
Beings such as The Keymaster and the great majority of other presumed court members seemed to be quite unsettled by the Queen, as questions regarding the Queen caused them to behave in an uncomfortable manner. Questioning the Priestess of Level 150 also led to a similar result, as she expressed the desire to change the topic of conversation. However, questioning The Crimson Wanderer about it caused him to express resentment and anger towards the entity. He claims that The Queen is dangerous and power hungry, seeming to dislike its parasitic tendencies towards wanderers.
Even in spite of the entity’s widely negative image, there are still some groups of humans that worship The Queen, declaring it to be a deity that incarnates nature and the cycle of growth. They are known as “The Verdant Church”, and voluntarily chose to meet The Queen and become Culled Ones after discovering her from the court mythos – in hopes of Blossoming and becoming closer to the entity. Avoiding the Verdant Church is strongly recommended, as they can become aggressive when one refuses to join them and become a Culled One. They have been reported to attempt to kidnap those who oppose them and bring them to the entrance of the Queen's chamber.
==Do’s and Don'ts==
===Do===
* Avoid the Queen's chambers as much as possible.
* Seek help from a base in case of contact with the Queen during the Culling phase.
* Avoid Blossomed Ones in order to prevent further expansion of the Queen's control.
* Attempt to fight off the entity's control during the Blossoming phase.
==Don't==
* Make contact with the entity and allow it to maintain its control over minds.
* Trust the Nature Lovers and join them in their activities.
* Give up hope and submit to the entity's control, as there is a great chance of death by starvation or thirst during the Blossomed phase.
* Come in contact with Blossomed ones in an attempt to help them.

 Seems like human beings aren't as naive as I expected. This will definitely cut most of her power source and I didn't even have to do anything in particular besides encouraging one of her poor victims to speak up! I can't wait to see her turning furious...
You wretched bastard son of mine... I knew you had a hand in this! How dare you?! You cut my power in half!
 Still using your flesh puppets to move around I see. Well, it won't be for long. You'll receive less and less power as the humans find a way to shut entrance to your level. You're beyond fucked you withering stump.
I will find a way to stop this, Hubris. You do not know your mother's powers at all. You may have tried to burn my roots, but a tree is sturdy and wise. You will pay for this.
 Hahaha! I can't wait to see you trying desperately to pull the strings in your favor, you old tree. But you seem to be forgetting that I still have power regardless of my loss. While you solely depend on fleshy batteries to be anyone. How pathetic.
Just you wait, cursed son of mine. You will make a false step and I will start a war.
 Challenge accepted. And Oh, you seem to be forgetting something. I have only one true mother and it isn't you.
