1,2,3,4:I declare a brood war!

The Honeycomb Hive is known to prefer hot and humid rain forests. In contrast to other hives they don’t necessarily build their lair underground, but may simply hollow out trees. They are less actively aggressive than other hives (of which the Chrysalis Hive is the most aggressive) and more seldom venture outside their designated area. Their favourite method of trapping creatures is to disguise themselves as dancing females and to lure males into their traps. Those are especially sticky since the hive has an affinity for sweet nectar - and blood. They usually wait for their target to weaken inside the trap, so they can more easily apply hypnosis spells. If they are not outside dancing and creature walks into a trap all by its own, it may take a worker weeks to notice it, which usually leaves a lot of creatures to die in the humid heat.
 
Nobody has seen their queen yet, but she is said to be rather beautiful - for a changeling.

Time for a brood war!

Gluttony hive
 
“Even we are creeped out by vores”

And forget what i said earlier, I cant seem to post anything right now.

And for the greed hive, arguements over who screwed up what are gravy.

@GodheadInspector
 
I DUNNO!

@Yorec
 
I know.
 
BUT WHY WOULD YOU TRUST ANYONE NAMED ‘FLIM’ AND ‘FLAM’?

@bustoblaster  
I could do it.

Er, strike that, I can’t start on it just yet.

@GodheadInspector
 
Well actually it was Applebloom’s and Granny Smith’s foolhardiness that forced them into the competition.
 
If AJ had made the decision she probably would have declined.

@Yorec
 
Yeah, Filthy Rich seems like a decent character.
 
Flim and Flam, on the other hand…
 
Seriously, how could anyone fall for con-men literally named Flim and Flam? It’s right there in their names!

Ah, so you guys ARE interested in these. I’ll start re-posting the rest, then.

At least he wasn’t trying to steal the Apple Family’s land, even though he could probably afford to do so.

@Psychopomf
 
Nah, Filthy Rich actually seems like a level headed corporate suit.

@Yorec
 
Filthy Rich must have a pact with them.
 
IT’S A CONSPIRACY I TELLS YA

And the Greed hive would feed on those with business practices that are for profit to the point of ruining the common man’s lives.
 
Like companies who kick entire communities out of their homes to build a strip mall. Or the Flim Flam brothers.

And what about a Sloth hive? They would feed from the despair of their victims, from how they can’t change their fate and they should forget about fighting back and letting themselves being consumed by the hive.

Or maybe even Rainbow Dash, she is very prideful.

@Psychopomf
 
Pretty much.

@Yorec
 
…In that case, bet a Pride Hive could support itself entirely from Blueblood and Trixie

@Pony
 
As do I.
 
(^{_{buzz buzz}})

@Yorec/Pomf  
All wonderful ideas.  
I obsess over changelings as much as pomf does over griffons.

I think it’d be awesome if the hives reflected the seven deadly sins.
 
Chrysalis is the Lust Hive obviously.

@Yorec
 
Hrm.

Wonder if that’d mean they feed on Anger or if they just cause it as they feed. I’d think they’d feed on positive emotions but be reflections of the negative aspect. Like how Chrysalis fed on love despite her heart having ‘no room’
 
Still. Beserker Changelings.
 
Shudder
