✓	Icon	Entry	Description
		Skull ScuttlerHunter's Journal Entry	Description: "Small, soft bug that uses the hard skulls of the Marrow for protection and disguise." Hunter's Note: "In every land, creatures find new and surprising ways to disguise themselves. One must be wary always." Location: The Marrow How many needed: 35
		SkullwingHunter's Journal Entry	Description: "Airborne relative of the grounded Skull Scuttler, found only in the Marrow's deepest, hottest caves." Hunter's Note: "Such feeble creatures could only survive thanks to the rarity of predators in these super-heated caverns." Location: The Marrow How many needed: 15
		Skull BruteHunter's Journal Entry	Description: "Soft bug beneath a huge, horned skull. Charges at intruders to protect its territory and its smaller companions." Hunter's Note: "Either its size has made it fearless or the Haunting has removed its sense of self-preservation." Location: The Marrow How many needed: 15
		Skull TyrantHunter's Journal Entry	Description: "Rare, enormous Skull Scuttler. The Marrow's largest predator, and the most feared for its ferocious temperament." Hunter's Note: "Though surely fierce, the skull it bears looks taken from an even larger beast. If not for the bones as proof, I would scarcely believe bugs could grow to such scale." Location: Bone Bottom, The Marrow How many needed: 1
		KilikHunter's Journal Entry	Description: "Small boney bug that favours dark tunnels. Can expand its spiked carapace to ward against attacking predators." Hunter's Note: "I am fond of simple, effective traps such as this bug's extendable spikes. An unwary predator would be skewered clean through." Location: The Marrow How many needed: 25
		MawlingHunter's Journal Entry	Description: "Young, boney bug that can curl its body to form a ball." Hunter's Note: "Their rough, ridged shell grips tight to any surface. Even walls and roofs become pathways for these nimble bugs." Location: Moss Grotto, The Marrow How many needed: 30
		Bell BeastHunter's Journal Entry	Description: "Huge, hardbone bug that lives within and travels through the veins of old bells across Pharloom." Hunter's Note: "This one has allied themself with me, either as thanks for their saving or respect for one judged as equal. Whichever the reason, their fellowship is welcome." Location: The Marrow How many needed: 1
		Pilgrim GrovellerHunter's Journal Entry	Description: "Basic bug of Pharloom, laid low upon the ground." Hunter's Note: "Taken by Pharloom's Haunting, the bug is now capable of little more than prayer and aggression." Location: The Marrow, Moss Grotto, Choral Chambers How many needed: 35
		Pilgrim PouncerHunter's Journal Entry	Description: "Agile bug of Pharloom, its higher functions have been lost to the Haunting." Hunter's Note: "With a softer shell than most, they would have relied on their athleticism to survive." Location: The Marrow, Moss Grotto, Blasted Steps How many needed: 35
		Winged PilgrimHunter's Journal Entry	Description: "Short-horned bug born with underdeveloped wings." Hunter's Note: "Flight it possesses, but only just. It may lift from the stone, but those sad wings would never carry it far." Location: The Marrow, Shellwood, Moss Grotto How many needed: 25
		ShardillardHunter's Journal Entry	Description: "Devious ambusher that poses as a fossil." Hunter's Note: "Once roused, the bug will crash its steely shell into walls, floors and foes." Location: The Marrow, Deep Docks, Far Fields, Greymoor, Sands Of Karak How many needed: 3
		CaranidHunter's Journal Entry	Description: "Common winged bug of the lowlands. Generally docile, but will attack if threats come close."
