Without further ado, KREVIN!

Species: Hercules Beetle
Height :11 mm
First Appearance : You’re lookin’ at it!

Krevin is the only surviving member of his clutch. Born a dwarf to a mother with little patience for such defects, he was cast into the wilderness alone. No notice was taken of his exceptionally acute intellect. It was his particularly keen senses, and instincts which served him so well in his early hours in the wilderness.

Even as a larvae, Krevin appeared to be a fanciful snack for a passing robin. Despite his best efforts to elude the flying predator, he was eventually caught be the beast. Unwilling to become the monstrous creature’s next meal, Krevin continued his fight. Surprisingly he managed to squirm free of his captor, and fell to the earth below. His heavily armoured carapace saved him from the fall, as he crashed into the middle of a silverfish den.

Darkness washed over him, and momentarily Krevin drifted out of consciousness. The sensation of squirming from below him woke the young beetle. Half expecting to be dead, he surveyed his surroundings with clear bewilderment. He was underground, of that much he could be sure. The dark and damp cavern walls were sporatically illuminated by glowing fungus. He was moving, but not by his own means. That squirming sensation was in fact a veritable carpet of Silverfish, they were escorting the beetle to the leader of their clan; the one they called ‘Zynsei’.

The Zynsei immediately recogninzed Krevin’s unharnessed intellect, and ordered that he be allowed to heal and later live amongst the Silverfish. In fact, the Zynsei took Krevin on as his personal pet, if not student. Communication with Krevin was exceptionally hard for the Silverfish, and so they mutually developed a form of sign language. It was not long before Krevin earned his welcome, and was accepted as a part of the Silverfish clan. While he has protected his clan on several occasions the dwarf Hercules Beetle cannot help but feel that there is still a greater cause waiting for him…somewhere…in The Underground.
