I know scorpions aren't *quite* insects, but I am willing to make an exception for a super interesting shape. You also need a good mischievous-looking guy in a creature collector sometimes.

"But they're so cute I want to pet them..." DON'T! Touching their needles does 1 damage! Ouch!
Long-time fans will remember this tricky Insectile - I've circled back around to make her path finding even smarter!
