Glugwigs

Glugwigs live in colonies spread all over there planet known as
"Glugwig IV". These creatures were first discovered by a team of Space
Cadets led by Gold Cadet Blake. Unfortunately, the entire exploration
squad was lost; however their sacrifice earned us knowledge of these
dangerous creatures.
Each colony consists of many different species of Glugwigs, all living
together in a colony controlled by a single queen.
SPECIES
Queen: Each colony has only
one queen. She is, by far, the largest of the
species, being nearly four times the size of a warrior. However, due to
the Queen's immense weight, she can barely move without the help of
many drones.
Warriors: A
Warrior can be seen in the image above. These are the only Glugwigs
that generally leave the colony's cave, usually in search of food or
new locations to settle. Warrior Glugwigs have one large eye which rest
on top their enormous head, and from their torsos extent multiple
tentacles.
Guardians: These
creatures are crawlers and use stealth over strength to defeat enemies
or catch prey. Each has three long thick tentacles which all meet near
their huge mouths. The role of Guardian Glugwigs is to defend the eggs
and the Queen.
Drones: These
are about the size of a common house cat, but look like nothing more
than worms with huge teeth. The drones rarely hunt, at least not alone,
but instead they work in the caves, moving eggs, the Queen, or food
around as needed.
Parasites: Unlike
the other species, parasites don't hatch directly from eggs, rather
they are injected into captured prey and when birthed, feed upon the
doomed victim.
Troy is corned by Glugwig
larvae.
