Homebrew Crawler Species Details
Crawlers are extremely large, intelligent, bipedal cockroaches. They live in damp, dark areas, like in swamps and the underdark. Crawlers like to leave well enough alone, and try to stay out of the way of other creatures. They avoid direct confrontation, and run away if threatened. Crawlers have a smooth dark brown carapace that protects them from harm. They are also able to come back from the brink of death and scamper away from danger.
