Lets look at Queen Gibdo: Clearly an insect. No exposed ribs, the segments on its limbs seem less like bones, and of course there are a total of 8 limbs, discounting the wings. She moves like an insect rather than the slow, zombie like gant the Gibdos have most of the time.

This is an active, bug-like monster that, based on the name and the presence of "hives", is responsible for the creation of monsters that only half resemble it. Monsters that, historically, have always been undead humans.

Where am I going with this? Well, Hives are used to reproduce and process food. They appear near populated areas, as well as the queen herself, and are used to conduct raids. But Gibdos are one of the few monsters that can't be baited with food, and again, theres the open, empty ribcage.

The raids arent for food. They're for bodies. Victims that are drug away dead or alive, brought to the queen, and transformed in some way to Gibdos.

I like to think something similar can be done to graves, such as the Gerudo burial ground in the depths. Corpses stolen from there resting place, coccooned, transformed, and left to wander.
