Maybe the Vykkers do something to make the lungs fit...put em in gro-formula or something so they would fit the Glukkon Queen's huge body...
Just imagine what happens if the support she's hanging from ever broke....she'd be like a beached whale. I imagine she must eat a LOT..I wondered about those huge barrels in Rupturefarms- maybe she scarfs those down like those pudding snacks you can get in the supermarket...
As for what fertilizes the queen-
Queen bees mate only once and the drone's reproductive parts actually get torn out...and he dies.
Helluva way to go...
Maybe they're like angler fishes where the male looks for a mate as soon as he's born and when he finds one, he latches onto her body and their tissues grow together...One female may end up with several males sprouted off her body..
However, for all we know, it may take no more than a difference in diet to make an oddworldian Queen...Like the meetles changing depending on what they were fed as larvae...
