Butcherbugs are large parasites that feed off of Montotheres on the planet Aristotle. They are considered by the Cho'ghar to be some of Aristotles deadliest animals.
Appearance
Butcherbugs resemble giant dragonflies. Their skin is dark green, and each one has four compound eyes on its head. They have long, lethal mandibles.
Diet
Butcherbugs lead Skinner Mites to good patches of Montothere skin. Once the skinner has cut the skin, the butcherbug will descend and feast on the soft flesh underneath. A large infestation can result in the poor montothere literally being eaten alive.
Behaviour
When not feeding, butcherbugs live in Aristotles many forests. They are actually quite intelligent, although not sapient.
