Hive of the Crawling Creeps - Catalogue of Creeps

Hive of the Crawling Creeps is itchfunding now with an early access bestiary edition. I’ve been posting a new creep every day from the bestiary. Here’s they are all collected in one place!

CREEPLION

The Creeplion is one of two main quest seeds for the adventure. It suddenly sucks an entire town square, your caravan, the quest NPC you went to fetch, the town mayor, or the all important maguffin right down a huge sandy funnel, and swallows it straight into the dungeon hive.

CREEPFLY

The Creepfly is the other main quest seed, which is very similar, a big swarm of fucked up thumb flies swoop in to [location] and bludgeon then drag off [ party member / loved one / NPC ] down their nasty little fly hole into the hive. It’s a very direct adventure like that, which helps you slot it in to any existing game even mid quest.

CREEPLING

The Creepling is probably the next thing you see when dragged down to the wet meaty hive. Juvenile scouts and labourers, creeplings are quick to wrap any fresh abductees in a nose hair cocoon and haul them off to the spawning pools to be devoured.

CREEPSPAWN

Splash! You’re thrown face first into the spawning pool and before you can get the hair cocoon off you’re already being digested by the juices. What the fuck is that noise? Splashing and thrashing and the high pitched whirring of spinning burrowing teeth. A feeding frenzy of Creepspawn are shredding through your armour and then your flesh! WYD?

[ POV - You have only seconds to live ]

CREEPFANG

The Creepfang is the enforcer of the hive. Locking down access to the queen and her spawn, they’re big, they’re aggressive, and they don’t go down easy. Their bite can knock out a horse, their claws can shear through a wagon wheel, and their stink would make the night soil man retch.

CREEPMOTHER

The Creepmother is the head creep, literally, just a massive horrible human head with bits of flabby torso melted in and grasping dreadlock finger legs. She’s the queen, the boss, the big bad, and she sleeps on a huge mound of treasure. She never stops laying spawn, that’s like her one job. If you want to see her, buy the zine!

CREEPSTINK

Finally you may be wondering, what is creepstink?

It’s a cloud of pheremones that creeps release to communicate, hunt prey, and defend from attack. Part way between ants leaving a pheremone trail to food, or a stinkbug giving off it’s dying stench. Each type of creep lets off creepstink with a different effect. So it’s like stinky special powers that complicate everything in a seriously fun way.

So that’s the creeps! Even as a standalone bestiary I think the early access pdf is v juicy. Get it now:
