Hive of the Mantids is the fifth level of Turok 2: Seeds of Evil.

Transcript[]

"The Hive of the Mantids. The Mantids are an aggresive and extremely intelligent race of insects that have established a large colony in the Lost Land in recent years. The Mantids are incapable of pity, remorse, or kindness. They exist solely to further their own existence. To this end, the Primagen has persuaded the Mantids to help free him by promising to give them ripe new worlds to infest. The first world on their list is Earth. Rift gates are being ready to transport an army of Mantid soldiers to your world. Destroying the master computer will render the rift gates useless."

Your mission objectives are as follows: Destroy three queen embryos. Destroy the master computer. Locate the Energy Totem and defend it at all costs."

Level Description[]

"The Mantids are a bizarre species from a distant world. The hive itself is a blend of high tech areas that smack of an advanced intelligence, and organic ‘secreted’ areas that betray the insect origins of its inhabitants. As the player begins to descend into the bowels of the hive, the surroundings will begin to change dramatically. The sterile, clean lines of the upper levels begins to give way to the organic, humid breeding chambers. The walls here are covered in a strange resin substance, and the scurrying of worker Mantids can be heard constantly. The secreted resin blends with the high tech elements of the architecture, creating bizarre lighting effects, and odd visuals. The deeper the player ventures, the more the environment gives way to the completely organic. By the time the player finds the brooding chambers, the environment has transformed completely."
