This creature is tentatively called the skittering skewerer. I haven't quite worked out the details of this crustacean's place in the dungeon ecosystem, but I'm pretty sure it's going to be a smaller, nuisance creature. In the final illustration, I'll have to add something to provide a sense of scale. Part Alien facehugger, part Half-Life headcrab and part blue land crab, I have yet to figure out what it does besides attack adventurers with its scythe-like front claws and make creepy clicking sounds. It should probably be able to jump long distances like a giant tick and appear in swarms.
