We liked the beetle-like Stabbers so much — the ones that fly on the surface and poke everyone with their sharpened stick — that we decided to add similar creatures underground as well. So, underground dwells a different species of Stabbers with atrophied wings. You can't really swing a stick in narrow tunnels, so they attack up close with their clawed paws. And the elder, the only one who still has wings, strikes with a massive staff. They are born, just like their surface relatives, from a giant hive. In the future, we plan to add a periodic ranged attack for them, like spitting. They will also be able to block passages with their webs, making it harder for enemies to move near the hive.
