Good Lords, Fair Ladies!
Tonight we're talking about bugs. Not about the ones you may accidentally notice and report, but about the ones that are in the game for a good reason. Namely, about extremely rare insects that you can find in Diplomacy is Not an Option, if the protagonist is "lucky" to pay them a visit during your campaign walkthrough.
You can judge the size of these amazing representatives of the Coleoptera by the picture above. We are not entomologists, just humble game developers, but we'll try to tell you everything we know about these wonderful creatures. At this point, six species of Giant Bugs are known. However, there is a hypothesis that there is only one species, and the difference in appearance is explained by polymorphism. Therefore, let's take a closer look at them.
1) Bug larva. Fairly harmless if not disturbed.
2) Bugs. The most common form of giant insects on the mysterious continent. You can usually find packs of them near nests.
3) Poisonous Bug. An extremely dangerous form of a giant insect. It has a special reservoir on its back that contains acid from its venom glands. When its life is in danger, the Poisonous Bug can splash out a significant portion of the accumulated caustic substance on its enemies.
4) "Runner" Bug. Notable for its very fast movement. Dealing with one of these will not be a problem, but when there are many of them, they are quite capable of spreading panic among a group of unfortunate scouts.
5) "Gargantua" Bug. It has an incredibly tough chitinous shell and impressive size. If you engage Gargantua, rest assured the fight will be long and grueling.
6) Bug Queen. The highest form of giant bug. As dangerous as it is gracious. An extremely aggressive insect, taking the approach of any stranger to its nest for an attack.
Bugs from the mysterious continent live in the cold highlands. Rumors are some people honor giant insects as sacred animals. There are some signs of a connection between the Sarranga tribe and the Giant Bugs...
That's all we wanted to share today. Next time, we'll continue to talk about the wildlife of the uncharted continent. Thank you for being with us! See you next time.
