Name/Codename/Title: SarCha the Broodlord
Enemy Type: Abyssal, Great Mother
Form/Description: SarCha himself most closely resembles a monstrous scarab beetle the size of the Superdome, but he also sports a massive scorpion-like stinger with three horrible barbs. His "face," as it is, is nothing like anything seen on earth. He possesses a giant maw with great circular rings of teeth, about 20 feet in diameter (though capable of expanding about three times as wide.) Surrounding the maw are grey orbs that are most likely his eyes. A swath of antennae run from above the mouth up toward the top of his face. SarCha possesses ten great pairs of legs, and a pair of pincers in front capable of cutting a bus in half with ease. Below the mouth are three tentacle-like proboscises that can extend up to fifty feet to snare anything it wishes to consume. He possesses great armored wings, but is incapable of flight. The armor plates themselves are interlocking with jagged scales sticking out. He is capable of burrowing underground at great speed.
Though horrible in appearance, his most terrible quality is the vast number of his children that he can spew forth from his maw. They come in three varieties: The Sarlings, the Cha-el, and the Reapers of Men.
The Sarlings are the most common of his brood, and compromise over 90% of them. They more closely resemble an earth beetle, though they are still a meter in length. They are the workers of the brood, gathering food and obeying his unknown orders. Though they are not soldiers, any one is more than a match for an average human, as it has an armored hide and sharp pincers capable of severing a limb. Their greatest threat, though, is their enormous number- SarCha is capable of belching forth a thousand of them in the time it takes most humans to realize what it is that they are seeing.
The Cha-el are the soldiers of SarCha. They are insectoid in appearance, standing some fifteen feet on six legs with great chitinous wings. They have four powerful arms, each with three humanlike hands. The hands are used in multiple ways, to grab their prey and rip them apart, to throw rocks, boulders, or Sarlings at any threats, or to improvise other weaponry. They possess much cunning, and are capable of using human weaponry that fits in their large frames. They are capable of flight, and have been known to chase aircraft down.
There are only four Reapers of Men, but that is still four too many. Should SarCha call any of them forth, it is because he perceives a great threat to his children. SarCha must stretch his mouth out for them, as each resembles a fifty-foot praying mantis of frightful power. They possess chillingly human faces, but their eyes are empty and soulless, and betray no emotion whatsoever. Each one has two massive scythe blade arms, easily able to slice through concrete buildings. Below that, they have two humanlike arms that will grasp, throw, and otherwise support the main offensive of their arms. Any human consumed by one has its soul trapped within, to suffer eternally within its body. These souls produce a wailing cacophony- this sound heralds the arrival of the reapers. Should all four reapers be gathered in one place, this wailing induces madness in all who hear its horror.
SarCha's intentions are unclear, but he certainly wishes to consume. His hunger knows no bounds, and he is very protective of his children. Any harm upon them is sure to draw the wrath of thousands more of his horrible brood.
