Vibrant

Vibrant's portrait by FlauscheSoeckchen

Vibrant is a hyperactive Ant which was given special attention from Anthony since she was an egg and is now a member of the Council following the death of Grant.

Vibrant is what is known as a "Champion" or a "Brute", an elite monster that are stronger than others of their kind from the moment they are born. Faster, more powerful, more intelligent, and altogether more deadly, their spawn rate rises tremendously during times of great conflict or upheaval in the Dungeon. Once they reach maturity, these Champions have a leadership type quality over monsters of their own kind, allowing them to gather a group of them as followers that, under their leadership and guidance, grow rapidly in power. Champions are especially rare among communal monsters, such as ants, and are a distinct threat to Dungeon delvers due to being smarter, stronger, and more capable of rallying other monsters around them, with some claims that if a Champion grows strong enough, they are capable of forming armies of mixed monsters beyond their own species.

Born with a core since birth, and all but stated to even have a core since she was a pupa and to confirmed to have absorbed other cores at that time as well,, Vibrant was born with higher stats, better evolution, and a capacity for leadership that attracts other towards them, as well as the ability to empower those members who join her group that enhanced both speed and Skills for increased movement and bite-related abilities. Those ants that follow Vibrant, although still familial and friendly to the rest of the colony, are loyal to Vibrant in such a direct way that they will only follow her and her orders, and won't do what other colony members tell them to do unless Vibrant agrees.

Vibrant is obsessed with speed, preferring to max out speed aura glands and leg mutations. She mutated her eyes in order to be able to see at her top speeds, able to move six kilometres in less than five minutes at Tier 4. Her Tier 5 evolution exacerbated her speed, and her combination of mutations and organs allow her mind and reactions to keep up, making her literally operate on a faster pace to other ants, to the point where, from Vibrant's perspective, everyone talks incredibly slowly and she is able to figure out what other ants are saying long before they've even finished talking; meanwhile from other ants' perspective, the onslaught of Vibrant's pheromones takes a brief period to process, along with her pheromone scent fading as fast as Vibrant meaning that many ants get momentarily confused by if she had been there. Vibrant has also taken heaps of mutations to help with her speed, such as to make her carapace smoother and more aerodynamic to minimise air resistance, to make her eyes able to see at high speeds, her brain to function faster and process information rapidly, her reactions to be quicker and a nervous system similar to Anthony's Sub-Neural Network, particular musculature in her legs, and possibly a mutated metabolism and respirator system to provide the level of energy she needs, in a addition to strong jaws and a tough defence as a powerful solider.

At Tier 6, her speed becomes so fast that she can leave afterimages, and to ants without a decently mutated vision, she was nothing but a blur. She initially had trouble moving at this speed and causes her to crash into things due to not stopping fast enough. Her blasts of pheromones also "speak" so fast that many high Tier Ants like the Council need a few seconds to process and translate what Vibrant said.
