| abstract | - The Hive Beast was first encountered after JD Fenix and Kait broke a wall through the dried-up dam with Baird's construction mechs. It sends wave after wave of Cankers at them, which they quickly destroyed with industrial staples. The Hive Beast later bursts from a large hole in the ground, attacking them with quills from its tentacles. JD managed to trick the Hive Beast into slamming its tentacles in the ground, which he later stapled. The Hive Beast, in an attempt to break the tentacle free, unintentionally broke it in the process. An air strike from the King Raven was then launched at the vulnerable area, wounding the beast. JD repeated this with the remaining tentacles until it had none left. With no tentacles left, the Hive Beast began shooting a large amount of Cankers at the Gears. Two of these projectiles destroyed the King Raven the rest of the group were on, though they managed to escape in time. JD later used the King Raven's rotor to shield himself from the projectiles the Hive Beast sent at him. When he got up close, he tricked the Hive Beast to slamming its leg, which he cut off. He repeated the process with the other leg, and now incapacitated, JD executed the Hive Beast with the King Raven's rotor, slipping back into the hole it emerged from.
