129. Wild Scuttlebus

You hear a skittering, scuttling sound, as if hundreds of claws were scraping rock. You peer down the transit tunnel just in time to see a massive being burst out of the shadows and lunge at you!

At first you think it’s some sort of gargantuan spindlescuttler, but as you duck out of the way, you see that what first appeared to be a single bulbous reflective eye is actually a rounded glass viewport embedded in the top of the creature's head. The smaller glass portals and hatchways embedded in its chitinous carapace confirm your suspicions: This being used to be some sort of living transit system for the Estians!

Now, of course, it just wants to eat you.
