Respect Menthuthuyoupi! (Hunter X Hunter) [Composite]
Menthuthuyoupi, usually just called Youpi, was a Chimera Ant, an insect who’s Queen passes on the genetic traits of species she eats to her offspring. Youpi’s Queen was a human sized mutant that ate thousands of people to give birth to him, as well as his siblings Neferpitou and Shaiapouf, who would serve as the Royal Guard to her ultimate child, the Chimera Ant King Meruem. Despite the large number of humans used to create him, Youpi’s genes mostly came from magical beasts, making him the least human of his brethren. After Meruem’s birth, he and his guards left and took over the nation of East Gorteau, planning to turn much of its population into Chimera Ants to serve as Meruem’s army and conquer the world. These plans would be interrupted when the Hunter Association invaded the King’s royal palace. The first guard to face the intruders, Youpi was able to defeat most of them, and awakened his sense of self as well as a sense of honor, despite his supposed lack of humanity. He then sacrificed most of his body to save his King from fatal wounds, as they were both unknowingly poisoned, allowing Meruem to make the most of his last few hours of life.

##Nen
Nen is a technique within Hunter X Hunter that grants users the ability to control their life energy, or aura, and use it to gain superhuman attributes. To harness Nen there are 4 general techniques which exist, as well as 6 categories of Nen user.
An explanation of each category, Youpi's type is Transmutation
###Ten
Ten allows a user to control the flow of their aura and lets a person protect themself with a defensive shield. It is the most basic of Nen techniques but also the most necessary, as it prevents one's aura from simply uncontrollably spilling out of their body.
###Zetsu
Zetsu is used to suppress one's aura, and by doing so can hide their presence and make it easier for them to detect the presence of others, as well as relieve fatigue, at the cost of being otherwise incapable of using aura
###Ren
Ren increases the flow of aura, amplifying the traits granted by Nen, improving users physical attributes and allowing them to expend more of their available aura
- Netero's Ren, which feels like being stabbed with needles to other Nen users, is much weaker than Youpi's ^- ^Chapter ^213, ^215
- [Anime] Shatters rock with the force of his Ren ^- ^Episode ^121
###Hatsu
Hatsu is a technique that varies from person to person, it is a personal expression of one's Nen, and for nearly every Nen user in the series, comes in the form of a signature ability
###Shapeshifting
- Grows wings and uses them to fly while carrying Neferpitou [Anime] ^- ^Chapter ^213, ^Episode ^91
- Grows four extra arms [Anime] ^- ^Chapter ^266, ^Episode ^112

- Turns his arms into around a dozen clawed tendrils ^- ^Chapter ^268
- Has hundreds of spikes extend dozens of meters from his back that nearly hit Shoot and would've killed him [Anime] ^- ^Chapter ^272, ^Episode ^114
- Turns his hands into blades [Anime] ^- ^Chapter ^276, ^Episode ^115
- Lets Knuckle and Morel land a punch so he can stab the former with spikes at the point of impact, though it turns out to just be one of the latter's smoke troopers ^- ^Chapter ^285
- Liquifies his cells ^- ^Chapter ^299
###Rage Blast
By getting angry, Youpi can cause his body and aura to swell to create powerful explosions
