- A flaming gas within a thin membrane of mucous would make sense; the explosion happens when the ball hits something - the membrane ruptures and the gases and flames mix with the oxygen in the air, explosively. There must be a large concentration of oxygen in the air to support things like Queen Vespoid; if it's actually an insect it draws oxygen in through tiny holes in the side of its exoskeleton, so something so big would need to draw in a lot of oxygen.

- Erm... not sure. Maybe it digs through a very thin layer of rock to the sand beneath then swims in that? But it doesn't explain how its head is plowing through solid rock.

- Old Jungle would certainly be a problem, but she seems to stick to pretty open areas in the New Jungle. There's only really those vines at the back of Area 3, and she can charge through them to break them, I suppose.
