![]() Young silithid that have yet to molt into their adult forms. Though not all silithid are innately hostile, all fiercely defend their hives when threatened. Every caste has its function within their massive underground hives which consist primarily of circuitous tunnels providing living space, as well as protection for their vulnerable eggs and larvae. Their society is divided into several castes, and each caste has a unique physical type, ranging in size from fairly small wasps to huge silithid colossi. Research conducted by Tammy Tinkspinner revealed that after Sargeras impaled Silithus with his sword, the silithid became riled up and stronger than ever due to feeding on Azeroth's blood. The larvae, or broodlings as they are often called, can evolve into a variety of silithid creature types based on the needs of the hive. ![]() No creature yet encountered can adapt to changes in the environment as quickly as the silithid. Silithid hatchlings entertain themselves by clacking their mandibles together in increasingly complex rhythms. In addition, a silithid with a protruding brain-type feature, Hive Controller can be found here.Īlthough many varieties of Qiraji Battle Tank can still be found in the ruins of Ahn'Qiraj today, the darkest of the species were only seen on the day the Scarab Gong was rung. In the wake of the Shattering, a submerged colony of silithid can be found at the Sunken Dig Site, suggesting they are capable of living underwater for long periods or indefinitely. It appears that size is also directly correlated with colony size. Size seems to depend on how long the silithid are allowed to develop in their egg stage. Silithid can range in size from a normal insect to gigantic. The qiraji, in turn, were an evolution of the aqir race that had been spawned by the Old Gods in the days of the Black Empire and then forced to hide in Ahn'Qiraj after the Aqir and Troll War. The silithid were created from the qiraji by the Old God C'Thun.
