Usurper

An usurper is an illegitimate or controversial claimant to power, often but not always in a monarchy. This may include a person who succeeds in establishing himself as a monarch without inheriting the throne or any other person exercising authority unconstitutionally. A person who takes the power of the country for himself or herself at the expense of the people. It may also be applied to an official acting ultra vires, outside his authority or jurisdiction.

Hymenoptera

Usurpation is a term used in biology to describe the phenomenon that occurs when a colony of eusocial insects is taken over by a queen of a different species, such as a cuckoo bumblebee (Psithyrus) or brood-parasitic paper wasp (e.g., Polistes sulcifer).

Another eusocial species of wasp that is known for usurping is Metapolybia cingulata. Regardless of their size, it is very common to observe queens taking over other M. cingulata colonies, however it has also been noted that if the two colonies are similar enough, the exchange of workers or queens will be smoother because they are slightly related to each so that it is not entirely a loss to be taken over by another queen.

    Cryptobeast

    by: Usurper

    Welcome
    Elemental beast
    On barren desert winds, you spread your wings
    Welcome
    Desert scavenger
    Desolation, plague, and pestilential rage
    Fiery breath of the desert storms
    Drought and starvation, raining locusts swarms
    Can not hide, no immunity
    Angel of the fatal winds, bringer of disease
    I am the beast-on rotting wings I ride
    I am the beast-burning the desrt sky
    I am the beast-infecting the sand
    I am the beast-of the wasteland
    Cryptobeast! Crytpobeast! Crytpobeast!
    Return
    Terrify the priest
    Churchyard crushed below, you tower over God
    Worship
    Lamashtu's consort
    Uncreation, pain
    Incendiary flame
    Brought forth to this time again, the plagues again
    Casting filth and famine, fatality reigns
    "Go forth man of the cloth, and spread my word"
    Pazuzu shall spare none, the world of man I scourge
    I am the beast-descending death arrives
    I am the beast-horror in the dather's eyes
    I am the beast-living blasphemy
    I am the beast-and all shall worship me
