-Grimm Title: Terror Bug

-Inspiration: Assassin bug

-Environment: Forested regions, destroyed villages

-Appearance: Rhinocerous-sized assassin bugs, feature a jointed proboscis capable of folding completely away underneath their torso.

-Armoring(s): Their bone plates cover the entirety of their front half but are quite thin and fragile; save for the proboscis, which is composed entirely of thick, hardened bone. Their abdomen is fully exposed.

Terror Bugs are capable of producing a strong adhesive compound from their skin which is used to cover their bodies in pieces of destroyed weapons, armor, and occasionally buildings; forming a suit of armor.

-Aesthetics: Terror Bugs noticeably lack red markings save for a single eye emblem on their face; the rest of their body is covered by a unique patchwork of scrap materials; everything from the metal of destroyed arms and armor to stone and wood or, most gruesomely, the corpses of their fallen prey; preserved and mummified but still armorclad.

-Behavior: Terror Bugs are solitary Grimm, each of them patrolling its own territory; though their borders will always overlap as they have been known to work in unison against larger forces such as when assaulting a village.

They tend towards one-hit kills, as they will simply impale their victim with the sharp, armored proboscis; injecting them with acid to dissolve their interternal organs before sucking them dry, leaving behind a mummified corpse.

-Attack(s): --Proboscis: primary means of combat; used to drain their victims of all bodily fluids after liquifying their internal organs and muscles

--Acid: They are able to emit a corrosive mist with specific properties. Highly destructove to the eyes and lungs but ineffective against skin; it will dissolve organic textiles but not leather or synthetic materials such as nylon. Causes metal to become brittle.

-Powers: The adhesive they excrete hardens into new bone over time, fusing the scraps composing their temporary armor into a solid, highly-reinforced shell. They can continue to build upon this until they become immobile; at which point the shell cracks open, releasing new juveniles.

-Strengths: Terror Bugs are extremely quick and agile for their size; with their main form of attack being near impervious to damage. Their armor grows sturdier as they age and slay more victims; harvesting their equipment to reinforce their armor.

-Weakness(es): Lose speed an agility over time as they acquire more armor; proboscis has a single exposed joint at roughly its midpoint which is easily severed, eliminating their ability to drain their victims but not their acid spray.

-Additional Notes: Based on the absolutely god damned terifying Assassin Bug.
