| Notes |
Out ofthe mist comes what looks like a large insect, pale white in color an flexing sharp claws. A mist murderer appears as a 3-4ft long dead-white cicada with unusually large, razor sharp claws. They spend most of their lives dormant underground as pupae.
Adult mist murderers burrow out of the ground during foggy weather to ambush prey that passes nearby. They use the fog to their advantage to catch prey, killing and laying their hosts in the bodies, then dying before the mist clears. Mist murderers sense prey nearby during foggy weather while submerged and then extract themselves to hunt it.
Their first attack is intended to inject poison and disable the prey. They then fly into the mist about 40ft away and wait for the poison to work. They continue this hit-and-run tactic, lunging out of the mists, until the prey is down. Once it has, they lay their eggs in the body.
EGG-LAYING-A mist murderer can lay its eggs in any helpless, living creature. Then the mist murderer crawls away to die within 1hr. Eggs can be removed/destroyed by a Heal/Hard test OR by magic removing disease or curing (1hpt cured=1 egg destroyed).
