Description

Though the Arimakki originally came from a single divine corpse, and overran just one mine, it wasn't long before their kind started to spread across the land. Soon, their colonies would appear sporadically upon the map, new hot spots arising despite being a long distance from the original hive. As it was quickly found, Arimakki travel the land quite well, be it on it, over it or under it. Frantic wings carry them upon the air, and frenzied claws burrow through the earth. All their colonies are formed underground, often taking over existing networks, be it mines, hollow veins or natural caves. What decides where they truly bed down is not fully known, as some places will be entirely ignored, while others are overrun by a horde of sweating, burning bugs. Some believe that their strategy is simply having none at all, being strange creatures of chaos that no one can predict. In the end, most people don't care about the "hows" and "whys," and are more concerned with stopping these hives before they start, and torching every last Arimakki before they boil an entire village to death. Efforts have been, and continue to be, made to stop this threat and contain it, but the world falls more into madness with each passing day, and it appears these parasites thrive upon the pure chaos that has gripped this land.

Here are some of the many Arimakki that torment the people of this world:

Arimakki Mushi - A type of Arimakki that buzzes through the air upon frantic wings, it appears to act as an aerial look out or scout. Though they often appear alone when flying through the sky, often they act as an omen, as soon more Arimakki on the ground will follow. The odd "tongue" that emerges from their rear seems to taste the air and give them direction, though it can give the opposite impression when they fly rapidly in circles to find the right trail. This same tongue is steeped in Feverish Sweat, and they coat foes in the boiling fluid when they slap them with this fleshy flap. The sound it makes as it waggles in the air during a speedy flight is...odd.

Arimakki Inu - Another type of Arimakki that appears to act as a scout, these ones moving in packs. They bumble across the land, smearing their sweat upon particular landmarks and areas to leave a clear trail for others. Though their movements and attitude may be more akin to playful puppies, they are by no means a creature without threat. Their drool is Feverish Sweat, and their goofy attempts to lick one's face will easily burn flesh and inflict victims with the horrid fever. The holes upon their back are created from the Whites Worms in their bodies, which emerge when things get hectic. If battle breaks out, the White Worms will appear to act as long whipping tendrils, delivering painful strikes to all who interfere with their host. For these Arimakki, their mission is often interrupted by moments of play and curiosity, as they chase one another in circles or bound after some fleeing critter.

Arimakki Ha - A dangerous Arimakki that was easily labeled as a "warrior" of the colony upon the first encounter. Their limbs end in wicked sharp blades, capable of cleaving through flesh and bone with a single swipe. Even their tail possesses a razor pincer, which they use to snip foes in half, or ward them off with mad flailing. While these blades are excellent for battle, they can cause issue when it comes to travel. They walk upon these blades, which can be a problem when on soft terrain. Thus, this type is capable of quickly switching between walking on two, four or six legs, depending on the environment. In some cases, they walk upon none, slithering across the ground on their bellies. The rapid changing of their stances makes them hard to predict and combat, as they can slink low under attacks and rise up to impale foes with a deadly thrust. When not fighting, they tend to patrol around hives and their entrances, grinding their blades together as a warning. Bored specimens have been found tapping their blade tips upon hardened surfaces, finding some amusement from the sounds that come from it.

Arimakki Nejire- A rather strange Arimakki when compared to the others, as its body plan bears little resemblance to most. Its existence has fed into the wild theories around the Arimakki, which grow even more mad with each new discovery and autopsy. Some would suggest that these creatures are not a single species, but a sort of parasitic collective, many who come together to create one terrible whole. Regardless, this Arimakki is one that stalks the outer edges of a colony's territory, using its speed and thin lithe body to evade detection. They target those who get too close to a hive, dispatching them with a single strike of their stinger. They are a species that has incredible patience, despite their fidgety behavior, waiting and stalking til the perfect opportunity arises and then lashing out with a nasty sting. Their sharp tail seeks the spine and other nervous centers, injecting a potent dose of Feverish Sweat to cripple foes with pain. Often, victims are left paralyzed from the agonizing stab, and their efforts to fight or flee attract the attention of other Arimakki. Those that arrive will finish the job, while this buzzing terror will go back to its hunt for intruders. When at rest, they like to coil themselves around branches and other long solid objects.

More Arimakki! And soon to be even more!
