So no hivemind beasts for now? Just for the record, I had an idea to make a hivemind horde that focuses on scavenging and consuming corpses of other beasts to evolve and take their traits. 
Havent seen too many benevolent beasts...might take that niche.

I am assuming the technology level for humans are more or less the same as present day, right? At least in arc 1?

I've allowed only one user here to creative a hivemind beast, and that's simply because one wouldn't be truly bad. Just once there's more it gets all over the place. For now, save for the person I allowed, keep off those. Still I like your idea.

Yeah technology is around present day - with TERRA having access to slightly more advanced forms of technology.
