Editing Prognugator (section)

== Duties ==
Prognugators serve as secondary leaders in a hive below the Queen who usually directs all activities of her workers. There is also the position of the [[Revalantor]], which is a rank above the Prognugator, but still answering to the Queen. However, these two roles are so far not clearly defined against each other.

The position of Prognugator was established because a single entity (the Queen) could not be trusted to make the best choice every time. So each Prognugator was able to assist their Queen by handling the lesser affairs of the Hive, and even caution her if they believed she was in error.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/04/22/2-15/ Chapter 2.16]</ref>

From the storyline so far, it is possible to tell that the duties of a Prognugator are to relay the Queen's will to her workers and soldiers: lead the Antinium in battle, oversee the Hive while the Queen is busy, and kill [[Aberration]]s. Prognugators are also meant to oversee and learn by observation and study, for which they require mental stimulation.<ref name="4.13L">[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/02/17/4-13-l/ Chapter 4.13 L]</ref> Prognugators are allowed to act independently of their Queen, and are functionally Individuals. While they are imbued with strong loyalty towards their Queen, they are able to actually go against her will by subterfuge, usually because they believe this to beneficial for the survival of the Antinium race in general.
