Yes, this is a post largely motivated by frustration, but it does deserve credit!
To get gold for Illithoid corpses, you need to place them in a certain vat. Then you get the gold from the person who holds/uses that vat. Who watches that vat? A FRIGGING HIVE QUEEN.
I haven't been able to raise a second hive queen in the past three days I've been questing in the Undervault, and I've gone through roughly hatching 15 eggs. I need to gather 5 beetles to hatch a single egg. I've gone through -75- beetles and still have not gotten a second Hive Queen.
To compare, the Illithoid corpse giver has decent protection (two ravagers, stronger versions of the Illithoid that can blackout and healthleech) and RESPAWNS (to my knowledge). Do Illithoid have to do some disgustingly large quest? Nope!
People can solo or double take a Queen if they have high enough levels, and maybe a reflector. What the hell? It doesn't take that long to drop them, from the impressions I'm getting. I'm getting very tired of having to raise a Queen just to get some gold from the Prison, whereas Kephera hunters don't have to protect anything.
Idea:
-The denizen who gives gold for Illithoid should not be a Hive Queen, but an entirely new denizen that can respawn on it's own. Hell, make it one of the Hive Kings.

Dude, if I remember right, queens have 6 kephera warriors next to 'em, one even 15...

It's only one certain Queen that gives it (gold), though.
(And six workers surely didn't stop Thoros from taking down a Queen fairly easily.
