Insectoids 「蟲魔族, insekutā, lit. "Insect-Monster Tribe"」 are a major race of Aggressors originating from another universe and a sub-species of Cryptids.
Abilities[]
Insectoids are a powerful race born for combat. They possess immense physical strength and speed, while their bodies are often clad in nigh-unbreakable exoskeletons infused with metallic alloys. Their strong Magic Resistance and ability to harness the power of Elementals makes them the natural counter against Daemons.
Depending on the specific sub-species they might possess extraordinary abilities like high-speed flight or deadly venom. Additionally, there is an extremely rare breed among them known as a Queen 「女王, joō」 which possesses the terrifying ability to produce new Insectoids enmasse.
Insectoids possess the rare ability of self-incarnation that allows them to form a body from the surrounding Magicules and natural elements, enabling them to enter any world.[1]
Exoskeleton[]
The Exoskeletons 「外骨格, soto kokkaku」 of the Insectoids are infused with metals and metallic alloys such as Magisteel, Adamantite, Alienium and Hihi'irokane. The grade of the metals and metallic alloys is proportional to the owner's strength.
Exoskeletons also give their owners resistance to Magic, with their surfaces having a similar effect to Mana Jamming. The strength of the resistance is proportional to the grade of the metals and metallic alloys in the exoskeletons.
Compound Eyes[]
All Insectoids have Compound Eyes 「複眼, fukugan」 that allow them to read all kinds of information.
Cilia[]
Some Insectoids have Cilia 「繊毛, senmō」 that shine in different colors depending on the amount of Magicules they hold.
Known Sub-Species[]
Trivia[]
- Due to Insectoids and Insectars having the same Furigana, "Insectoid" has been deemed the more appropriate name as not to cause confusion.
