Name: Crystal Eater
Homelands:"Ice" Caverns. a Cave covered in crystals of all shapes and sizes that looks eerily like ice. The temperature is low enough to make one believe that it is indeed ice on the walls. This is where they were first discovered, however since then many different habitats have sprung up.
Type of Offense: Melee, biting at the person or swiping with twin "scythes" (preying mantis based)
Type of creature: Material Insectoid
Likes: Crystals, the rarer the better
Dislikes: False gems of any type
Description: Standing about 3 feet tall, this Materially created insectoid feasts on any mineral deposits that are crystaline in nature. Many people that work in crystal mines have many a complaint about these beasts. They resemble a preying mantis, only made to look like crystal, and it's large scythes are used to cut at the gem stones embedded in the earth. It's mandibles are capable of eating through diamond, and the occasional human that chances its way into its den. They despise anything that is a false crystal, so if you happen to be wearing something that is made of artificial crystal, it will tend to attack you. The skin of a Crystal eater is not as tough as diamonds, however it takes quite a bit to penetrate. Also the skin and eyes of this beast are considered rare and valuable treasures with some groups, as they make very strong weapons and accessories when the correct person has a hold of them.
