The Zarbi

The Zarbi, sometimes referred to as Zarbis, were an insect species native to Vortis, who were frequently controlled by the powerful entity known as the Animus.

The Zarbi resembled giant ants. Some Zarbi moved on two powerful human-like legs, (TV: The Web Planet) while others, like the ones in the London Underground, moved on six legs like ants on Earth. (COMIC: Unnatural Selection) They communicated by screeching and rubbing their legs together. (TV: The Web Planet) Much like bees, Zarbi also communicated by dancing. (COMIC: The Macrobe Menace) They were naturally simple-minded creatures, no smarter than cattle. They had no individual motives. (TV: The Web Planet)

Socially, they were similar to the ants of Earth. They lived in massive nests with millions of members. There was also a similar caste system, with powerful warrior Zarbi, common workers and giant, bloated queens. They were born as larva, which were little more than grey blobs.
