Your gene-thief ant colony must defeat the hybrids.

Notable enemies

The size-level 1/ 1/ 1/ 2/ 3 hybrids are released in your formicarium as attacking waves. Each wave only begins after the previous wave has been dealt with. The male scientist gives you hints through his dialogues.

The hermit scorpion will break its shell if it is mounted.

The whip mantis and the praying spider will fight each other for some time before breaking off.

The dragantula must focus for a short time before using its aerial abilities.

If you keep most of your soldiers inside, the male scientist knocks on the glass to stun and randomly damage any active creatures. If you fail to eliminate the hybrids in time, he will violently knock on the glass and accidentally eliminate your queen.
