Description

This small insect can make sudden leaps to escape predators and can also create a pleasant chirping sound.  Crickets come in different color schemes that camouflage with their environment.  Although harmless, Crickets could make stealthy and innocuous seeming familiars or WildShape forms and are less likely to provoke negative reactions than creepy spiders.
