==Summary==
The Vortex Queen is the mother and leader of the invasive Vortex species. At the beginning of Ecco the Dolphin, she led a hunting raid on the ocean, capturing Ecco's pod, but she wasn't seen until the end of the game, where Ecco managed to when she killed the Asterite, the source of Ecco's powers and the oldest lifeform on Earth.
After managing to restore the Asterite, Ecco fought her again, but right as he beat her again, she evolved into a new form, escaping and attempting to reach Atlantis' time travel machine and beating Ecco to it, but upon moving to the days of the earliest stages of life on Earth that she planned to end to prevent her loss at Ecco's hands she found herself unable to survive there, and evolved into the ancestor of modern crustaceans.
