=== [[Web Comics]] ===
* Mars, in the webcomic ''[[A Miracle of Science]]''. One of the few examples of large-scale Hive Mind that ''aren't evil''. It exists as a superstructure over implanted [[FTL Radio]] network and mostly inobtrusive, "possessing" its members only when it wants to say or do something directly. It also [http://www.project-apollo.net/mos/mos042.html has a good sense of humor].
* In ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]'' Petey after migrating from old hardware - and more broadly, the Fleetmind.
* The Peteys (and more broadly, the Fleetmind) in ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]''
** And the infamous Partnership Collective: A Hive Mind of [[Amoral Attorney]]s.
** The Ot-Skadak (Flechette Bugsbugs evolved on Eina-afa) - they are carnivores, so the primary use of swarm communication is [[Synchronized Swarming|to coordinate high-speed attacks]]. [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2013-06-28 These] are up to 3 meters long (see the previous or next page for how huge the dragon-like critter was) - see a close-up image [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2017-06-30 here]. There's asmallest are 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.
