Elites

The elites are said to be pure Rapi, born only from queens and used to protect the Hive controllers. The elites are more serpentine is shape, looking like a foot soldier that lost its legs to be replaced by a giant tentacle. The elites seen have shown much greater intelligence than foot soldiers have shown, and are much faster, and are the only Rapi seen to use tools, whether it is a spear or weapons from fallen human soldiers. The only recordings of an elite are from a drone that managed to get a full minute of footage of an elite searching for something before it was destroyed. the footage luckily having been streamed live to the drones controller.
