Description
The Saturated Sting are a sentient species of giant arthropods with a hive mind and an expansionist agenda which generally infest a geometry deep inside the Discontinuum known as the Fever Dream. Occasionally, usually with the help of greater Powers (unwitting or otherwise), they may be able to break down the barriers into the Borderlands and can sometimes cross even into the Evolutions. This brings them into conflict with the Stability Council. The loss of the Consumed World, is in an infamous recent disaster, in which the Saturated String were able to successfully corrupt and colonise an evolution, removing it into the archetypal realms where they live.
The Saturated Sting have a body plan which very much resembles a flying scorpion on Earth Prime, but they are much larger. The males are between two and three metres in length and coloured a deep crimson red, whilst the females are a little smaller and their irridescent blue carapices are partially reflecting. The head segment houses large twin pincers whilst the mouth is flanked with sharp and poisonous fangs. The central body segment has a twin pair of long diaphanous wings, enabling them to fly rather in the manner of a dragon fly. The last body segment contains a resevoir of toxin which can be delivered via a duct in a needle sharp bone at the tip of the tail.
Imaged above are two male shock troops, imprisoned in a sampling raid during one of the borderland skirmishes when the Saturated Sting briefly came into open conflict with the Stability Council. This pair later escaped and the incident led to some significant setbacks for the defending forces. The Saturated Sting should never be underestimated.

Me who does not like insects, I am served LOL, this species of flying scorpion deserves to be sprayed with a powerful insecticide so that it disappears forever, it is very well done and scary.
