Sugar Hermits
Skull-wearing hermit-crab horrors that feed on brains and bones, migrating by the tens of thousands down the Heat Three track.
Story so far
Sugar Hermits are level-11 hermit-crab-like horrors that wear skulls the way a snail wears a shell — festively repainted by the AI into Day of the Dead sugar skulls of every species (goblin, ogre, and more), with barbed purple tentacles reaching from inside. Agile and fast, they feed on exactly two things: brains and bones, at which they are experts. In Heat Three, tens of thousands of the all-female hermits migrate down the hundred-meter-wide, ski-ramp-steep asphalt track toward the kaiju skull blocking the finish line to lay their eggs.
They swarm the racers' vehicles, one wrapping its tentacles around the One Fine Pig Draconian gunner's neck and trying to rip his head off before the starting-block invulnerability shield saves him — a rolling, screaming hazard the party must survive for twenty minutes.
