Name: Crushroach Rank: G Genus: Insect (Cockroach) Attribute: --- Traits: Insect, Vermin

Description:

The Crushroaches are one of the most resilient and bothersome Vermin monsters to live. They follow only the orders of the Crushroach Queen and are extremely territorial.

If someone tries to steal bounty from the area they consider their territory, be it an empty cave in the wilderness or the holiest church in the greatest humanoid city, they will fight to their death to kill whoever trespassed on "their" land.

Appearance:

The Crushroaches look exactly like their non-monstrous siblings, except that the Crushroaches are as big as a house cat. In addition, the Crushroaches do not have a set of wings.

Abilities:

Danger rank: Variable (depends on swarm size)

Rarity rank: F-

Crushroaches are surprisingly durable despite their weak bodies. However, they are susceptible to magic, flames, and poison.

A single Crushroach is considered to have a Danger Rank of G, but if they attack in a swarm, the Danger Rank can increase to rank E, or in the worst case, to rank D.

The reason for this drastic increase lies in the Crushroaches' insatiable hunger and that their abilities increase when working as a swarm due to their Vermin trait and [Swarm] skill.

A starved Crushroach swarm can even eat metal armor if the swarm is large enough. They can also eat much more than their body mass, but there have been found some individuals that have eaten themselves to death.

Garami's comment: In any world, roaches are a constant pest.

K-N's comment: I would say the same about bookworms. Those wretched creatures...
