| ===== Emerald Darter ===== | ===== Emerald Darter ===== |
| These flying insects of incredible size resemble dragonflies. An emerald darter has a long, thin body with a bright green carapace. Its head features four globelike eyes, and it moves about on three pairs of wings that beat too quickly for the eye to follow. In the wild, darters hunt small mammals. Natives have managed to tame them for use as mounts. | These flying insects of incredible size resemble dragonflies. An emerald darter has a long, thin body with a bright green carapace.

| ===== Hive ===== | ===== Hive ===== |
| {{:swn:planets:savacola:hive.jpg?200 |}} The hive is a malformed husk of a woman, the torso of whom has been twisted and hijacked by a swarm of malignant stinging insects. A hive's torso has erupted to allow for expansion of the insects' dwelling, its body twisted and gnarled. Hives wander the swamps, unleashing veritable clouds of insects on anyone unfortunate enough to disturb them. "Of the ten creatures I have researched thus far, it is the Hive who haunts my dreams. Though she appears to have been classified alongside the other Grunts, she was a far more dangerous creature, setting a swarm of insects upon any human in range until their bodies were punctured and swollen and heaving with their vile poison. Only her own death - the death of their host, the Hive Mother - stopped their persistent attacks. Though she could be safely killed from afar with a shot to the head, the positioning of her body made the task difficult even for the best marksmen." | {{:swn:planets:savacola:hive.jpg?200 |}} The hive is a malformed husk of a woman, the torso of whom has been twisted and hijacked by a swarm of malignant stinging insects.

| ===== Meathead ===== | ===== Meathead ===== |
| {{:swn:planets:savacola:meathead_photo.png?200 |}} "A thing simply called Meathead. Terrifying thing... A headless and massive, almost bloated, humanoid monster with leeches for hair. The stuff of nightmares." Frankly, I'm not sure why they referred to this thing as a Meathead at all. The creature has no head. It could best be described as a bloated, headless, humanoid monster. More easily cut than shot; a hard hitter, but too well insulated to take much damage from a fist or a blunt object. It appears to have a symbiotic relationship with leeches, though these, too, are not the creatures you might recognize as such. The leeches appear to have acted as the creature's sensory organs, allowing him to see, to find prey, and to weaken that prey with their own poisonous bites. They are a clever extension of the creature, advance troops in a way. | {{:swn:planets:savacola:meathead_photo.png?200 |}} "A thing simply called Meathead. Terrifying thing...

| {{:swn:planets:savacola:waterdevil_photo.png?200 |}} The water devil appears as a mass of writhing tentacles, although canonically it is actually a 'colony' of wormlike beasts. Though it would be easy to mistake it for one many-tentacled creature, the Water Devil is in fact a swarm of smaller aquatic animals. It seemed to sense the presence of anything entering its home waters, and its movements were quick and decisive. Because of its swarm-like nature, it was hard to kill with bullets or any sort of melee attack, and often the best recourse was simply to run for the shore. | {{:swn:planets:savacola:waterdevil_photo.png?200 |}} "The water devil appears as a mass of writhing tentacles, although canonically it is actually a 'colony' of wormlike beasts.
