The Giant Phorid Fly, or Decapitator Fly, is known for incapacitating a victim, then planting its eggs in the victim's head. When the eggs hatch, the larvae cosume the host from the head down. This parasite mostly preys on Giant Ants, but has been known to target deer, elk, cows, sheep, and any other local herbivore. Phorid Flies found in settled areas may also target dogs or people. Instinct: to find new hosts

• Knock a target unconscious
• Swarm a single victim
• Deposit eggs in the prey's head

One of the owners of the Trading Post Instinct:

Could these things be the source of the noises from above? Often the haunting sounds of chanting or faint screams were dismissed as the strange wind current muffling the voices of others. With sunken spots where their eyes should be no one knows the true purpose behind these creatures. Instinct: Unknown

• Screech like an eagle
• Gather tribe

Most will never have the pleasure or the terror of an audience with the Hive Queen, absolute ruler of her daughters, the Giant Ants. Queens have been known to make pacts and alliances with those on the surface. In some lands, the locals even pay tribute in exchange for her protection. Never forget that she would do anything to protect herself. Instinct: to expand her power, influence, and hive

• Send wave after wave of troops into battle
• Psychically call on the hive for defense
• Call upon an ally to help deal with a threat

See there? The one with the big head? That's one of the Drones, the lieutenants of the Hive Queen. They carry out her orders and organize the other Ants into squads and work teams. Some say that they're really smart, and that you can communicate with them, if they're not too distracted. Instinct: to organize the hive

• Coordinate an attack by his larger sisters
• Release alarm pheremones (also present in blood)
• Psionic shock (d4 damage, ignores armor) or (-1 ongoing)

Larger than her sisters, the Soldier Ant has mandibles half the length of your arm. She can tear through your armor -- might even cut off your leg if you're unlucky. Her tough exoskeleton turns bolts and blades. Best not to kick some anthills... Instinct: to defend the hive

• Lop off an extremity
• Release alarm pheremones (also present in blood)
• Grapple an opponent (Defy Danger + STR to escape)

You'll see them coming and going, tasting this and that. When they find something tasty, like a dead dog or your grain harvest, they'll tell their friends. And more of them just keep coming. Watch out for the Soldiers. Instinct: to explore for the hive

• Expand the hive
• Release alarm pheremones (also present in blood)
• Pick something up and carry it off

Sailing through the open skies with an endless thirst for conquest the Sky Pirates seek to live life for the thrill of it. They are rowdy, uncouth, and don't give a damn about what society thinks of them. Instinct: To Pillage and Plunder the Skies

• Ransacks anybody in its way
• Takes all treasure it sees
• Will kill for loot

Instinct:

• Fire Flintlock
