Spear Skarr - Hollow Knight: Silksong

"In my youth, I envied all bugs with wings. I even fancied I might grow a pair… I have since learned better. Accept the limitations of one's body… and augment with tools as needed."

Winged ants wearing a skull helmet and a mask as a chestplate, ready to throw spears at any who intrude upon their homeland.

Silk Beetle - Decktamer

"The Silk Beetle can often be found dangling from trees in the dense forests of the abyss. It can produce up to four times its weight in silk, which it then uses to build strong webs to catch smaller insects. If this creature were brought back to the surface, it could allow us to mass-produce silk far more efficiently."

This four-legged beetle has a rather snail-like face with its long eyestalks, and a mass of silk covering its body.

Mechanically it's pretty poison-focused, either being immune to it or healing from it instead of taking damage. It usually has a way to inflict poison damage itself, which may make it pretty useful even later on despite being in the lowest threat-level. If nothing else, transferring its ability to something stronger could be good.

Its poison-focus is fairly surprising, since it doesn't actually have anything to do with its silk. I would have expected some sort of speed debuff, or that status that makes its opponent go last to represent hindering and entangling foes using its silk.

Queen Buzzerfly - Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance

"Queen (as it turns out!) of the Buzzerflies. They fight as a swarm: she pummels with stingers and pollen while her drones take a more direct approach."

A powerful Nightmare that plagues the Sleeping Worlds. She resembles a legless wasp with butterfly-like wings and an abdomen that spreads out into petals like a flower. She's also kaiju-sized.

During battle, she attacks by shooting homing stingers, pollen and by spawning smaller Buzzerfly minions.

Despite resemblances to the more well-known Queen Sectonia from Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Queen Buzzerfly actually predates her by two years! While both legless bee queens with floral aspects are great, I prefer this design. The head-shape and compound eyes just work really well together.

Fly - ASTLIBRA Revision

It's a demon resembling a big, purple fly that tries to sting your or something. Their attack range is very low so it's hard to tell what it actually does.

Flesh Harvester - Diablo III: Reaper of Souls

Phillippe - Look Outside

"Need a fighter, a healer, a bug and tax guy. I'm the third guy!!! The bug! I'm not the tax guy. I don't see a bug or tax guy on the team you got. I can do both, but mainly bug. I did tax once before and they yelled at me on the phone..."

This upstanding mothman is initially encountered inside the Fungal Lair, trapped in mycelium. Upon being freed, he will eagerly become a party member in order to rescue his trapped friends.

He's a pretty normal looking mothman, with a black body, big red eyes and six limbs. Got little glasses to make him look a charmingly dorky too. His wings are properly feathered like those of a bird, and his feet look a bit avian as well. Considering that he's a moth that got mutated into a person however, such changes are not that crazy compared to what else could have happened to him.

Being a temporary party member, he only has one special move, but it is pretty decent. His Dust Cloud ability has a high chance of blinding all opponents! I wonder how he does it though. Normally moth dust abilities are based on shedding the scales that cover their wings (lepidoptera means scale-winged, even), but Philippe's wings appear to be more feathery and avian.

Butterflies - Spore

Skarr Stalker - Hollow Knight: Silksong

"Skilled ant hunter bearing blade and armour fashioned from bone. Fierce, strong and disciplined... yet these qualities do not protect them from the Haunting. Is such a fate inevitable in these lands?"

A taller, full-grown warrior of the Skarr tribe, wearing a horned skull helmet and wielding a serrated blade.

They are rather skilled, able to burrow, block attacks and use cool dashing and diving slash attacks.
