Description[]
The Pillbug[1] (officially: Potato[2][3] (as in "potato bug")) is a shiny silver colored many-legged creature that crawls slowly back and forth on the ground. When Trace approaches or shoots one, it curls into a sphere and moves faster by rolling. While balled up, one is completely invulnerable (except to corruption).
Corrupted Form[]
When corrupted, they move at 1/2 their regular speed.
Trivia[]
Real pillbugs, also called potato bugs (among other names), are tiny crustaceans (not insects) of the woodlice family. They are characterized by their ability to curl up into balls as a means of defense or in order to retain moisture; a process known as volvation.
