Nah, don't. I have yet to see anything Leigh Whannell (or James Wan for that matter) have created that has been worth the film/paper it was committed to. Let alone my time.

A conspiracy theorist dies and goes to heaven.

God says, “I’ll tell you anything you want to know.”

“At last! Who shot JFK?”

God says, “Oswald, acting alone.”

Conspiracy theorist says, “Shit. This goes even higher than I thought…”

#MÖRKTOBER DAY 10: BEETLE

"Out of the bottomless Múr they come, crawling and scuttling on thrice-kneed legs. When giants roamed the land and everything was bigger they were little more than lice, but the giants have gone and all but the beetles have shrunk."

Words by me. Art by @nohr.se

BEETLE
Album: Vile Creature - Cast of Static & Smoke (2018)

Out of the bottomless Múr they come, crawling and scuttling on thrice-kneed legs. When giants roamed the land and everything was bigger they were little more than lice, but the giants have gone and all but the beetles have shrunk.

Their carapaces are thick as castle walls, thick veins of amber in the black still pulsing with slow, cold giant blood. They drag themselves up from the deep places, mandibles clacking, searching for the warmth of the giants. Finding only men, they settle for crushing us instead.

They nest in the ruins of giant-works - old bridges, fallen towers, the hollow skulls of colossi. The sound of their approach is that of an avalanche learning to walk.

Múr Beetle
HP 24 Armor -d8 (chitinous shell) Morale -
Mandibles d10
Defense DR 8 (slow and ponderous)

Giant Blood: When the beetle takes 6+ damage in a single blow, ichor sprays from their husk. Test Agility DR 12 or be coated in the caustic fluid (d4 damage per round until scraped off).

Any attempt to move a dead beetle requires a dozen strong men or a team of oxen. Their shells can be carved into shields or sold for 600s to armourers.

Beneath Their Shells (d6)
A clutch of eggs the size of a human head
A dessicated giant’s finger wearing a silver ring worth 500s
A colony of smaller beetles (d100, HP 2 each, d2 damage)
The wet echo of something vast and dreaming
Enough blood to fill three barrels (50s each to an alchemist)
Scroll lodged in the carapace written in the language of the giants

An illustration to the right of the page shows a massive horrible beetle.

And typically I'd agree - but the first half of that entire vid was... unnecessary to say the least. And sure, they've done a great job for many videos, it was quite a bit of a ball to drop.
