Brain bug

The Brain bug is a strain of Arachnid species that serve the role as base commanders and generals as well as coordinators within the Bug hordes. These large defensiveless creatures are not tasked with battle but with leading a colony of Arachnids. Described as 'smart bugs'; they are responsible for the intense level of coordination among Bug attacks as well as their tactics.

Physically, they are large fat creatures that possess no form of defense and their immense weight means that they must use the Chariot bug species to help in their movement. They also possess a sharp appendage that is capable of striking a Humans head and draining the brain fluid allowing the Brain bug to learn everything its prey knew which was a common Arachnid tactic where they would capture enemies.
