Amaranthine-Deceptor

Description


The Kuongatari（クオンガタリ） are insects that live within the impenetrable 6th layer of The Abyss, where returns becomes impossible for humans. Because they live in such a deep section of the great pit, their existence is only known from a few reports made by white whistles. The recently discovered letter from Lyza "the Annihilator" has expanded the knowledge of these insects, displaying sketches and ecological surveys. Recently, they have been spotted in other layers of the abyss like the 4th Layer. The reason behind their migration is unknown but there are concerns of them spreading to other sections.

These treacherous insects have a very peculiar appearance. Their wings closely resemble the appearance of Eternal Fortunes, also known as Flowers of Resilience, that bloom practically everywhere within the abyss. By sneaking within these flowers, the Kuongatari will turn them into death traps, mimicking in the beautiful flower garden. They will attack living things that get too close and plant their larvae inside their bodies. Even more so, they will assume dormancy during mimicry, allowing them to deceive even creatures that can read the flow of consciousness by observing the force field of the abyss. After planting their larvae, they will slowly start to consume their host from the inside and increase their numbers. Once the head is invaded the host becomes a food source for the larvae for as long as it lives, and occasionally adults will enter through the host's mouth to feed it and prolong their survival.

While in a direct encounter they are not nearly as threatening as other creatures like the Tamaugachi, their deceptive and furtive nature makes their danger level equally high, and they have taken the lives of many black whistle delvers without giving them even a chance to react, remaining unaware that they're being invaded until it's too late.
