Description Bestiary artwork for Endless Realms , a D&D-like "pen and paper" fantasy RPG I'm working for.

Less monstrous than the last few creatures posted, acrimites are large burrowing insects that excavate elaborate subterranean tunnels - some serve as homes for their vast colonies, while others are filled with deadly pitfalls and complex web traps, designed to protect their colonies and catch unwitting prey.  When alarmed, acrimites have a penchant for swarming en masse, their thick chiton turning aside weapons as they overwhelm attackers with their powerful jaws.

Love the prehistoric bug looking design !

So if they are colonial... This means they have a Queen ?

Thanks! And yes, quite likely, but I'm leaving it up to the writing/creative team to come up with that stuff

Well...that's gonna slow a few adventurers down a bit.

They definitely make me think of a creature that you're probably better off avoiding :b  Maybe explore the outermost tunnels if you feel like looting the bodies of other hapless adventurers that may be easily accessible, but otherwise way too much trouble!

Indeed!  And considering the species I'd prefer to play, the Acrimite are definitely not on the list of preferred encounters!   Fluffy with teeth & claws is not a very good opponent against chitin, spikes, and grabby-limbs.

*chuckles* That's why, I suppose, you'd be fluffy with teeth & claws and crazy weapon skills + magic! 8D

*Impudent grin* And make sure I'm teamed up with an awesome meat-shield.
