### Grab Spider
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A huge arthropod. Its pedipalps by its mouth are extra elongated, almost twice as long as its legs, and each ends with a jagged sawtoothed edge. It keeps its palps folded in front of it when not using them. But when hunting, fighting, or defending itself, it unfolds them and is capable of grabbing its prey lightning fast from quite a distance.

### Honeybear
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The sound of heavy plodding steps accompanied by a loud, muffled buzzing is a sure sign of trouble. The innocuously named Honeybear is a bear, between mostly and all the way dead, that has been animated by a hive of psycho bees. Honeycomb protrudes from its back like sails. Black honey seeps from its pores and leaks from its blind eyes and other orifices. The psycho bees usually steer their shambling, ambulatory bearhives toward the recently or soon-to-be dead so they can make psycho honey from the meat.

### Opulture
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
One of the more mundane varieties of gryphon, and an unsettling one at that: half opposum, half carion vulture. Bald of head, bald of tail, sharp of beak. It can be found hanging by its tail from tree branches, or perched on tree tops greedily waiting for the doomed to finally die so that they can feast on it.

### Psycho Bee
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
These carnivorous bees make thick, black honey from meat and have a parasitic relationship with the bears of the forest, burrowing into them, hollowing them out, and turning them into walking beehives. The "honeybears" don't survive this, but are piloted by the bees, who take over the nervous system, to find and kill prey for the bees to consume. Eating this "psycho honey" is said to give the victim disturbing visions of dreams and memories of those consumed by the bees. Some have reported to be able to cross from the memories of the dead into the landscape of the afterlife.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
However, domesticated and rehabilitated psycho bees, kept by the sprites and the fauns of the forest, have successfully been bred to live in beehives instead of bears, and to make honey not from meat but from moonflowers. Consuming this more tame variety of psycho honey induces a tranquil state, and the sensation of drifting calmly through the void between stars.

The secret is this: the bush brats, the sylph, and the mossmen are all distinct life stages of the same creature. When it is time, the bush brats spin a cocoon and later hatch into sylph. The sylph eventually become more and more plantlike until they become mossmen. And the mossmen eventually become more and more sedentary until they take root and grow special tuber-like structures that hatch into bush brats, completing the cycle.
