ABOUT

Crawling offspring are mindless creatures with no single form or appearance. Some are oval, while others are round or even boxy. Many have dangling pseudopodia, while others sport whipping claw-tipped tentacles, flapping wings, bulging eyes, warty flesh that leaks oily substances, or none or all of the above.
