As I (and others) assumed, it seems that the chimera monsters are natural nen-users, independent of any food source. So as I guessed before, I think Phagogenesis is their inherent nen-ability.

That's still not a conclusion I would come to. The spider guy and the earlier autopsy both confirmed that the grunts (which seem to be less human than the higher ranked ones) couldn't see Pokkle's arrows. I would expect having human dominant traits would be a minimum requirement to allow the spider guy to be able to see nen.
Phagogenesis is an innate ability of chimera ant queens, human genes or not. I don't see why it has to be anything more than a biological process for them. Either ways, it doesn't matter too much.
