Description
(I didn't create any of these! Wonderful castes thought up by I hope they look like they are supposed to be! I had a lot of fun drawing these and I am starting on the next set! I especially loved the Swimmer. Here is the descriptions that Evo created for each caste)

Valkyrie: Similar to to Chrysalis in build in size, they lack eyes. Instead they see the world through magic pulses, similar to sonar. Thus, they have larger ears. Their horn is a long curved blade, with no holes or abnormalities like Chrysalis's.
They are the brains of the changelings, only taking orders from their queen. They are the generals, supervisors and such. They also don't speak since they lack vocal cords, instead they rely on telepathy, which can be broadcasted to any being they so wish on the planet. (They are extremely strong in this regard, able to kill several beings with a Psychic screech.)
Their magic is developed to another level, giving them spell maneuverability that no mere unicorn can match.

Soldier: These changelings are the backbone of the army. They are much larger, say Big Macintosh size, then normal drones. Their horn is longer and more straight. It’s often used to impale opponents. They are also extremely strong, able to tear apart ponies, or any other creature with their bear hooves and lift objects several times their weight. They are known for their bloodlust. For once they catch the scent of blood they go wild, killing and tearing any being that so much come across them. Only the Valkyrie and the Queen herself can reel them in.
They are reluctant to change their form, and will not do so unless instructed by a higher caste. And they have a massive healing factor, linked to how much love they contain and strong the changeling is. They can survive wounds that would be fatal on any other creature, are extremely sturdy, and can even regrow limbs within in seconds. (That last one only goes for well fed soldiers, since that taxes on their energy reserves.)

Nurse: About the same size as drones, these changelings have normal pupils, like their queen. They have manes and their wings are shaped like that of a butterfly. Their role is to take care of the young and the wounded.
They are gentle and loving creatures. (Imagine Fluttershy as a changeling.) They will not harm any other being, instead they use two methods of preservation.
1: A piercing shriek. Which also alerts other changelings of an intruder.

2: Pheromones. The Nurse caste can release pheromones upon any creature, putting it into a more calm and blissful mood and allowing them to be easily swayed. This is not effective against large groups.

Their saliva has extreme healing abilities and can cure any illness as well as seal any wound within minutes.

Swimmers: These changelings are a breed that have taken to the water. The front half looks like a normal changeling, with a more sharklike back fin protusion. Their bottom half is more akin to that of the ancient sea scorpions. (They lack wings.)
They are known for their tantalizing voices, luring ships to their doom so they may feed on their occupants.
They have also take the form of seaponies to complete the mirage of sorts. (Seaponies do not fall for their disguises. In fact, seaponies seem to get along with their changeling counterparts, since the swimmers have never attacked them.)
