Broodlings of Eihort

Broodlings of Eihort are gestalt beings made up of millions of the tiny white spidery brood of Eihort. They form the shape of a human and can speak if needed. If "killed", the body collapses and the individual brood crawl away.

In the RPG...

Broodlings of Eihort remind me of the New Great Race of Yith, though they are thousands, whereas Broodlings are apparently millions, and are treated as a whole, rather than the individual insects of the New Great Race. Their stats are all roughly human, though all physical attacks do only minimum damage. If the Broodling manages to escape, it can regenerate, taking 10 minutes per hit-point regained, which means an average specimen would take 130 minutes to fully regenerate from just a single hit-point. If reduced to zero hit-points however, they cannot re-form. One interesting aspect of a Broodling is that the effort it takes to hold a human form means that all their skills take a Penalty Die.

In a video game...

Picture this: You see a pale figure slumped in an alleyway, and thinking them injured, approach, offering to help. They turn around and are actually a Broodling in the process of forming from Brood streaming out of a storm drain. Despite only being half-formed, they attack anyway. Your pistol is now drawn, but each shot simply results in puffs of tiny white spiders instead of blood. It's then that you realise you're barely even hurting it! Sounds like a cool scene to me. What do you think?

In a film...

Such as in the video game scene I described above, I think Broodlings would be perfect for a horror movie.
