Still, I'd think it ought to be more heavily built than a standard Worker Isopterite - presumably it has a much larger and heavier abdomen.How about making it 16,000 pounds, or roughly twice the projected weight of a 20 foot tall Worker?Also, remember we've also got an immobile &quot;primary queen&quot; that is Colossal sized as well as the standard or &quot;secondary queen&quot; the stats are for. I'm thinking the Primary Queen is also 20 ft. tall, but its abdomen has stretched out into a whale-sized sausage of flesh. It could easily weigh the 200 tons projected above.So how about:A queen isopterite stands about 20 feet tall and weighs at least&nbsp; 16,000 pounds. As a queen grows in size, her abdomen elongates into a&nbsp; mammoth sausage-like mass of flesh, and she could develop into a&nbsp; Colossal creature who weighs 125 to 200 tons, or maybe even&nbsp; more.
