RESOLVED
Hello,
I am hoping someone can provide some insight into what is going on with Adguard Home or show me what I am missing. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the Adguard Home plugin this morning to see if it may have been something with my install, but the same behavior returned with the default settings.
I have attached some screenshots. It looks like localhost is just querying thousands of random domain names nonstop. I was curious if localhost was Adguard itself or queries being originated from within Opnsense. Either way, why would the systems be querying all of these random domains?
I appreciate the help!

How did you configure your DNS resolvers? Do you use Unbound + AdGuard?
If you have Unbound listens to port 53 and AdGuard as upstream then AdGuard will only see all DNS queries from your whole network coming from Unbound, hence localhost.

As soon as I posted my topic I remembered something and BAM…you beat me to posting my oversight.
I had setup a URL Alias for a rule at some point and completely forgot about it and didn’t document it. That is what I get. Removed the alias and all is normal.
