[366 Days of Monsters] Day 91/366 - Swarm of Droans (Patreon)

The dreadful insects known as droan look like fist-sized silver beetles with blood red eyes. They are one of many side effects of the Transmuter Wars and the Hand of the Three. Mutated from ordinary locusts, these voracious, carnivorous creatures possess a droning sound which has the ability to confuse and disorient those who hear the sound. Once a target falls unconscious from the droning sound, the swarm of droan covers the creature and starts to devour it while it is still alive.

Heralds of Loikiel. The infamous Transmuter Loikiel created many horrors which still plague southwestern Omeria. However, the droans were particularly well-known as he would send forth the insects to destroy fields and livestock prior to the arrival of his armies. Even the danaavrakt grew to despise and eventually fear the droans as the fiends themselves were not immune to the droans' natural, mind-numbing effects. Later, the goblins of Gar Wabrizz used droans against the elves during their invasion of Olyothyr. To this day, droan swarms plague the Sabalona, making travel from Olyothyr into Gar Wabrizz extraordinarily difficult.
