Silk Mantis Cave + 3 animated creatures (Patreon)

Hey everyone! This week we bring not only a map but also 3 animated tokens!
We have also made the FoundryVTT module for the map with the animated tokens and stat blocks for DnD5e.

It's a deep cave full of Silk Mantis, creatures with sharp blades in their arms and capable of creating silk webs that they use to hunt their preys and store it to feed the hive.
The Queen is an inmobile creature that uses pheromones to charm their enemies and other Mantises, that obey her commands without hesitation.
She is the only Queen in the hive and the leader of it. All Mantises will answer to her telepathic commands. Killing her will make the rest of the hive become crazy and purposeless for a while, until they choose another Mantis to be the next Queen and reconstruct the hive, so it may be important to kill every single Mantis and egg. The pheromones will attract also other creatures, that will be charmed by her and obey her commands.
Small Silklings may spawn from the eggs.
We made a cocoonless map so you can place the cocoon asset where you consider. This asset is available for all Explorers and Cartographers.
We have also made some variations with no webs just in case the original map triggers your arachnofobia.
Statblocks preview.

Plot hooks idea:
A lot of people is being reported missing, the Silk Mantises are capturing them in their cocoons. Save as many as you can. Kill the Queen and/or the rest of Mantises before they become unstoppable.

As always, any feedback is more than welcome.
Enjoy!
