== Description ==
=== Artist Headcanon ===
 
* have two different regional variants: those in the temperate forest, and those in the dunes. While the temperate are more frilled and fanciful, the dune variant looks much larger, harsher, and spinier.
* Both variants are solely female and reproduce through parthenogenesis, a form of asexual reproduction.
** Due to this, there are no male in existence.
* When encountering others of their species that are different variants, they tend to fight with each other or chase the other off.

It has wing-like fins at the base and near the end of its tail, which splits in two. A large pair of insect wings sprout from its back, with a smaller pair at the base of the aforementioned pair. The has a long pair of antennae which sprout from a small, pointed, elongated head, whose most prominent feature is its insect-like, giant ovoid eyes. Spikes rise from its shoulders, and hexagonal symbols adorn its plates.
=== Males ===
Males have a small, wing-like "sail" on their backs, 4 plumage-wing-like decorations at the base of its head, with similar decorations at the tip of its antenna; and the shoulder spikes are truncated (cut).
=== Females ===
Females have 2 pairs of spikes on its head (one pair at the base of the antenna, the other and the biggest one behind their eyes where the upper wing-like decorations of males would go), and their shoulder spikes are pointed.

== Trivia ==
* Concept by torviin.
** The was inspired by mantids and animals that show parthenogenesis, such as whiptails and/or many other insects.
** Its name is meant to be read as "コノムシ (konomushi)", which is a fictional name that derives elements from "木の葉虫 (konohamushi)", the Japanese name for leaf insects.This is information from impjelly, who helped with naming , as seen here.
** The 's name, when put in Google Translate, means "this insect".
** was originally shrimp based and intended to be all-terrain, but was switched to be flier due to it not maintaining its older semi-aquatic features.
** It was first named Ikhegani and was intended to be Nimwit's developer creature, but was later redesigned to remove its personal developer related features.This information is from torviin, a concept developer that redesigned . See here.
* As an all-female species, 's in-game gender differences are meant to represent its temperate and arid regional variants.
* had turquoise blue blood when bleeding back in legacy.
** Due to this, when killed, the drops a turquoise carcass in Legacy.
** This is an actual color in some Earth creatures, from those that use hemocyanin, a blue oxygen carrier that replaces hemoglobin in some invertebrates' blood.
* In Legacy, can more or less safely traverse through lava (idle animation, sitting, laying down, aggro, cower, hiding scent, and walking on a straight line over lava don't hurt the ), as seen here.
