Line 285:
* The Peteys (and more broadly, the Fleetmind) in ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]''
** And the infamous Partnership Collective: A Hive Mind of [[Amoral Attorney]]s.
** The Flechette Bugs - they are carnivores, so the primary use of swarm communication is [[Synchronized Swarming|to coordinate attacks]]. [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2013-06-28 These] are 3 meters long (see the previous or next page for how huge the dragon-like critter was). There's a finger-sized variety, though they still can kill a human wearing light body armour in a few seconds, even without the advantage of high approach speed.
* In the comic ''[[MSF High]]'', the Legion are a Hive Mind which maintains individuality amongst Legions. Their society is very in-depth, and they are surprisingly friendly. Now.
* ''[[Bob and George]]'' has X, in his first chronological physical appearance (note: the rest were pre-existent spirit forms or time-travellers. Or Alternates. Or future alternate spirit forms. Or a pair of kumquats, hiding in the shape of X. Something along those lines.) go omnicidal (in a way) when no one would be his friend, and then proceeds to link up every robot to his mind. And then picks up a cyborg. And then through that cyborg the entire human race.
* Gavotte from ''[[Skin Horse]]''. An actual hive.
* ''[[Sequential Art (webcomic)|Sequential Art]]'' has "Think Tank" - four squirrel girls with implanted link chips. At a short range they can [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=493 get in synk talking on Faxmodemish] with each other, think together and act as a single entity at will. [[Mega Corp|Quinten]] used them as a [[Wetware CPU]] network to check a [[AI Is a Crapshoot|buggy AI]], but before that they were in R&D. Consequently, one of them alone is a hyperactive and hyperperceptive [[Genius Ditz]] who can build a beam weapon she knows [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=199 from a souvenir blaster and spare parts] is she isn't distracted by something shiny or moving, but four together go into all-out [[Mad Science]] and [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=542 turn] a lawnmower [[FTL]]-capable when trying to upgrade it.
