Goodness, I sort of knew that Grendels (now also called grass devils) can be up to 3m in length, but I think my imagination wasn't fully aware of the sheer mass of this monstrosity until I saw it just now. Pair it up with night-time stalker behaviour and speed bursts of around 40kph and, oh dear, I am very much afraid.  |

Based on the old art I thought it was long and whiplike, like a lizard. This is horrifying.
...I want to see art of a Silva tearing a limb off one in desperate close combat. (That is a traditional way to deal with a Grendel grass devil.)

The Legacy of Heorot, the sci-fi book that BP's grendels were inspired by, is absolutely worth reading if you haven't yet. link to amazon |
