>I would rather conjecture that Baal Zebub was just a group of insects in MW
That much I know was definitely not the case, because thanks to all the leftover remains of Baal Zebub there's actually a lot you can infer about what her original questline might've possibly been like. She's both clarified as being distinct from her daughters the Beelzebubs and the remains of her dialogue lines have her specifically refer to herself as the Lord of the Flies, and she refers to the others as "On a ship with MY Followers", just like how her daughters the Beelzebubs were sealed on that boat, so she was without question a singular individual and their ruler. She even has a ghost story, just like all three of the Bub Sisters do. She also speaks of capturing a man for breeding purposes herself, which is completely in-line with the original problem of Baal Zebub and the Beelzebubs with their incredibly rapid and uncontrollable reproduction, but it's completely at odds with her later characterization as the Hive Mind, who doesn't even grasp why someone would want to breed in the first place and thinks she's beyond that. It's honestly awesome just how much I've been able to learn about her, and while she was already one of my favorite Calamities this has elevated her to the position of the one I'm actually looking forward to recruiting the most just to see the direction trtr takes her newfound incarnation. I'm glad that trtr was able to still keep her in.
I'm not sure why the proposition that Nephilim was originally her rival before becoming a superboss seems to bother you so much, since again she's definitely Estark Girl nowadays, but if nothing else, just think of this as the explanation behind why she happens to have a Scorpion Tail that opens up into a sex organ.
