GuhonThe guhon are a species of insect quite unlike anything else. There have been several species spotted, listed later in further detail, but they all share a few unique features. Because sightings have been such dangerous and quick events, descriptions are rarely scientific or consistent, but some things are recalled enough times to convince people of a few factual pieces of information concerning guhons. All guhon have eight limbs. Four of these are legs and another two act as arms. The other two are very reduced in size and are position either side of the jaws. These are presumed to be used to feed meat directly to the mouth. Their bodies are long and segmented, with the first half or so holding all the vital organs. Every inch of them, save the eyes, is covered by a very tough exoskeleton, which has been said to turn aside sharp steel. The hands of guhon are like lobsters or scorpions, and are very powerful and sharp. They usually attack with these first. This front half is fatter than the back half, which forms a sort of tail, or nineth limb. The tail of a guhon bears what is believed to be the egg-laying part of the insect. Sometimes, this is defended with spines, such as in the case of the pergua and fluskin types. They have not been seen attacking with their tails, but do raise them over their head when threatened, supposedly to seem bigger. All guhon live deep under the ground, far from the reaches of sunlight. It is believed they will eat anything they can, from moles and small rodents, to insects, to mosses and lichens, and even people. They are also all very large, and usually stand taller than a human at the back. They also have varying amounts of eyes. The magroma, scypis, and pergua have a single eye, but the fluskin has between six and ten eyes. It is not known how many. Those which have a single eye have it on the end of what is called the neck. At the base of the neck, on the bottom, is their mouth.Their mouth consists of up to three pairs of sharp jaws which they use to slice and blend their food into a smooth pulp that they can then drink. All guhon lead solitary lives, unlike most insects. They make no audible noises, and react violently to light. Magroma

Stranger still is the fluskin, because, unlike other guhon, it has more than one eye. In fact, it has somewhere between eight and ten eyes, no neck, and its jaw is on the front of its face. It also has three-fingered pincers on each hand like the magroma. Its tail is proportionately longer than its body compared to other guhon. It is also the smallest and least aggressive of them all. Their armour is usually a pale brown-grey in colour. They have four pairs of jaws, and stand very high on their thin legs, and they do not have body spines.
