Gribelin

Also known as Herdbanes, a gribelin is a flying monster with bat wings, the body is segmented and tubular with the mouth at the bottom and its eyes, wings and sensory organs on the top, the whole body is bent into a c-shape when in flight. When on the ground, they move around like caterpillars, and are mostly harmless as they aren't flexible enough to have their mouth face their target. Spit flat three pronged projectiles that bounce from one target to another. Specialized in preying on herd animals, so the bounce is to ensure several hits on several targets.
== Lifecycle ==
The herdbane is the immature stage of the species, it later cocoons where it will develop specific sexual characteristics. 
Males are of heavier build than juveniles, and faster thanks to an extra set of wings, spew mucus in a wide arc, to trap and slow down flying prey. 
Females are more crustacean in appearance, sporting thick chitinous armor, and are very slow, they are very tidy, keeping the spire clean of parasites, and can spit globs of anti fungal/bacterial/viral matter with precision over long distances to keep predators away their nests. 
== Behavior ==
Make nests that resemble armored spires. The adults leave in mated pairs to construct the towering spires from their mucus,which will house the next generation, during the construction process the mates will hunt alternatively.
