Observations
A salmon-colored underbelly combined with highlights of indigo upon its carapace, these creatures, six-legged and about chest high, are truly a mix of industrious and horrifying. Decidedly raspy in their chittering, I cannot imagine this species has ever produced a vocalist of any merit. Able to burrow quickly and through the toughest of minerals, they are liable to sneak up and attack without provocation. Though weak in constitution, their forelimbs proved quite adept at finding chinks in armor and bestowing small, but non-trivial wounds. Jaws and tail, by appearance alone, seem able to also serve as weapons, though no such attack was observed. Easily defeated individually, but woe is the adventurer who encounters them in any number for they would surely overwhelm her in moments. 3 stars.
Remembrance
Oh chitinous fiend from the depths of the ground I feel quite upset when you are around You stabbed my leg and hurt my friends You've given me nightmares that will never end Though I bested you with my rapier It feels as though you're still creeping near I trust neither holes nor the dark anymore Upon your whole species, I now declare war
