![]() ![]() It doesn't look very much like a tick actually does, no, which is a tad disappointing to me as a life long tick fan, but sometimes it's the thought that counts, and the thought here is that a big tick ate somebody's head and started steering their body around like an even better head crab. Better because it's also a vampire and an aristocrat. Here we have our first example of what seems to be the more "dominant" vampiric race those that evolved from mosquitoes. Their basic design is fairly simple, just a ghoulish humanoid with very large, dark eyes and a beaky nose, but it's by far my favorite thing in the game. Is it strange that a human with only vague and minimal insect-like features can sometimes look so much cooler to me than a full blown insect? Insects really are my very favorite thing, but I guess I'm so used to them that a lot of insect monsters end up feeling kind of mundane without some odd twist, and it can be a lot more fun to find those cool, charming insect traits hidden away in a totally different creature.Īnyway, this little guy only ranks as a "manservant" of the mosquitoes, but he's also the only one of the encountered outside of their domain - carrying an invitation you will absolutely require to enter the Courtyard. ![]() Yes, these are vampires who have to invite you inside, which is such a hilariously appropriate twist for "high society" vampires that I'm surprised I haven't seen it more often.Īnother you can encounter wandering beyond the Crimson Court itself, it's hard to say what sort of arthropod this is actually supposed to be. It has a face more like a cockroach, earwig or beetle than anything else, but with raptorial forelimbs and a larviform body. ![]() ![]() It's emerging from water, so maybe it's supposed to be a hellgrammite or something? Whatever the case, the Chevalier is said to be almost mindlessly bestial, so I guess those powdered wigs are secured really tightly.Įxclusive to the courtyard proper, a couple of the higher-level vampuitos are not only a whole lot larger than their manservants, but get both a (sort of) "human" form and a "bloodthirsty" form. The bloodthirsty esquire is quite cool, with its far longer proboscis and mantis-like raptorial forelimbs, both befitting a vampire clearly so interested in swordplay. ![]()
