There is no physical terror that is equal to the medical treatment dispensed by the Crenshaw Arachnid.
A highly intelligent, peaceful, sentient being, the giant grub-like creature in endowed with scalpel-sharp claws, and rows of razor teeth that drip with an organic disinfecting pain killer. It also possesses an abnormal appetite for disease.
When presented with a patient, the Crenshaw Arachnid will drag its bulbous translucent bulk over the body, slice open the flesh, eat infection, mend bones, repair muscle, and darn sinew. When it is finished it will use silk from chin spinners, to sew the cavity closed with meticulous precision.
Recovery time for the physical treatments are atypically short. However, since the Crenshaw Arachnid finds all anesthesia toxic to their own physical systems, operations must be performed with the patient fully conscious. Because of this, several weeks of post operative care is required for the treatment of persistent screaming nightmares.
This is one of the most disturbings and yet marvelous creations I’ve ever met. I sense some of them making their way into a campaign I’m running in the near future if that’s ok with you.
Are you running for office? I hate to even think how this comic might apply. I am open to certain pre-approved uses. So drop me a line and we can discuss the rest. I am glad you find them disturbing and marvelous, that was exactly what I was aiming for.
oh! I love this one, both frightening and curious all at once.
I think I saw one of these in Iraq…defiantly explains my screaming nightmares.
