"That is one ugly bug."

Karina the Great was the Geonosian Queen of Geonosis during the Clone Wars.

Biography
Unlike most members of her species, she had six limbs instead of four, and a huge egg-laying organ, which laid an egg roughly once every eight seconds. She commanded a hive of undead Geonosians, through use of brain worms, from her lair under the Progate Temple. She was originally thought to be only rumors, until Poggle the Lesser hid in the temple with her, unaware that he was being followed by Luminara Unduli. When Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi tracked Luminara down to Karina herself, Obi-Wan wanted to negotiate with her and find out how the brain worms worked. Queen Karina was presumably killed by the clone troopers whom had shot down the structure of the temple while saving the three Jedi, allowing it to topple over her and burying her under the rubble.

Behind the scenes
Karina was voiced by Dee Bradley Baker, who also voices all of the clone troopers in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series.
