Summed up nicely with the following quote from an anonymous scientist who first named them. In fact, the only reason they were called Locust was because humanity knows nothing about them and the amount of death and destruction they cause can only be associated with some type of plague. Call a Smeerp a "Rabbit": Despite their name and hive societal structure, they're very clearly not insects.Initially carved out by the Riftworms and corpsers, the Locust gradually expand it to contain their entire civilization. Beneath the Earth: The Locust Horde lives in a massive tunnel network beneath the surface of Sera known as the Hollow.They're descendants of humans who were afflicted with Rust Lung (an early form of lambency), who were genetically spliced together with the DNA of Hollow creatures by rogue COG scientists to create a breed of Super Soldier to win the Pendulum Wars. Belated Backstory: We only really learn their true origins in Gears 5 and Gears Tactics, long after the majority of the Locust Horde either went extinct or became the Swarm ( Tactics may occur during the war, but it is a Prequel).Bee People: Locust society is structured with a Queen at the top, and lots and lots of disposable drones.Always Chaotic Evil: They're vicious monsters who regard humans as mere cattle.Their motives for this were revealed in Gears of War 3: the Lambent were overwhelming the Locust in the Hollow, and after Adam Fenix failed to find a solution, Queen Myrrah invaded the surface to make a new home for the Locust as they continued their war, not believing that humanity could be trusted. The Locust invaded the surface of Sera six weeks after the end of the Pendulum Wars, beginning a war that would result in the death of 99% of the human population. They use a variety of bio-engineered beasts for transport, construction, and war.
