"I've heard the term creepy crawlies many times. Never has it been more appropriate."
- Pietr the bloodless, aspiring entomologist.
Crawlers, the result of Horzine's experiments combining elements of humanoids, beasts, and insects, could be considered a success.
Crawlers move on all fours, skittering across floors, walls, ceilings, and any other surface they need to in order to position themselves for a leaping strike at their enemies. Unusually fast among Horzine's experiments, they sacrifice raw physical power for manoeuvrability.
Able to leap deceptively far, and appear from unexpected locations, while not particularly threatening, the crawler holds a specific place in the Horzine repertoire as a terrible nuisance.
