A faerie-like insect creature with dragonfly wings, 4 eyes, antenna, and a white exoskeleton, hovering while holding a thorny spear.
They might look like fairies, but the insectoid veetlings should not be underestimated!

INCIDENTALLY for those who don't know--Yes, Ancillary Justice WAS optioned and WAS greenlit and there were scripts and concept art and talks with actors and then...the streamer decided not to do it.
Yes, I was a bit miffed. But the experience of meeting folks and learning things was amazing.
