Quoting from the Mighty Mutanimals animation bible:
"Maligna is the evil alien insect queen from Dimension X and mother to the entire Malignoid race.
Her sole purpose for existing is to see to the successful propagation of her malignoid race. She seeks out green worlds that she can turn into vast Malignoid hatcheries. She is friends with the twisted warlord Krang, a being with whom she shares an appetite for destruction."
"Malignoids are the warrior children of Maligna. With their hard insect exo-skeletons and their one-track
insect mentality, they are programmed for destruction. Little to no individuality is found amongst them and they exist only to carry out the will of their queen mother."
