Kruthiks

Sometimes the road to legitimacy is a long and weird one. kruthiks were a metal spider-lizard monster invented in the "Miniatures Handbook" (which wasn't really about miniatures) for Dungeons & Dragons. The smallest kruthik hatchling showed up as a mini, and then... well, nothing. but SOMEBODY liked them, and they gained enough traction to become a basic monster in 4th Edition, and gain minis for all their other sizes in later sets. Hilariously, the second version of the hatchling looks nothing like the others, even though it came out with them, whereas the original hatchling matches up with its later brethren.

 

Kruthiks are swarm-based monsters that behave exactly the way they look. The worst thing about thewm is that standing near one ensures you will always take damage every round until the Kruthik is dead.
