Content: Bare bones, but no less terrifying, this insect can be a terror for your Players.
Writing: Very little aside from the Stat Block and a small consequences Table.
Art/design: Little in the way of artwork save for the Background, however the cover image is suitably eye catching and terrifying.
Usability: If you find your Players have grown overconfident in their ability to defeat the foes you throw at them, try this creature for a tactical change of pace.
