I’ve been having weird dreams about this thing? I don’t know what it is? I’m so confused, and I can’t find my phone
DEPLOY THE BOYS
You really won’t ever appreciate how cool insect wings are until you’ve seen all this footage.
The ones with wing covers that completely open up are beetles, by the way, but the ones LIKE beetles whose protective cover remains in place are bugs. Bug is supposed to be a special term for just one insect group!
Mid-way through is an earwig’s wings, which is neither a beetle nor a bug, but does have very beetle-like wing cases.
Item: Buddy Orb; when equipped as a familiar (using an Orb slot) grants an extra +4 to any other orbs in the party. Seems to be intelligent, but dislikes communicating or interacting in any way beyond occasionally making soft little murmuring noises, much to the bemused discomfort of those around it, preferring to orbit around a host in contemplative silence. Seems to be attracted specifically to player characters.
