Insect

Insects (蟲型魔獣) are a race of demi-spiritual Monsters that originate from another universe. They're the juvenile form of the Insectars that rule over them and a sub-species of Cryptids.

Appearance
Insects possess the appearance of extraordinarily large arthropodic beasts with types ranging from common insects like ants, beetles, and bees to arachnids like spiders and scorpions. Their bodies are coated in a thick metal-infused exoskeleton that give them a distinctive sheen.

Abilities
Insects possess the rare ability of self-incarnation that allows them to automatically form a body from the surrounding magicules and natural elements when entering into a material world. Their thick metallic exo-skeletons are infused with metals that grant them a sturdy physical defense in addition to a strong resistance to magical attacks. Depending on the specific sub-species they might possess extraordinary abilities like high-speed flight or deadly venom, but even the weakest among their kind reach a solid B-rank. Certain members of their species who have lived long enough might be found sporting half-humanoid appearances due to being in the incomplete process of evolving into Insectars, with power that presumably matches that status. Additionally, there is an extremely rare breed among them known as a "Queen Type" which possesses the terrifying ability to produce new Insects enmasse.
