Kresskn

Type : insect

Those little creatures (0.5-1cm long) live in colonies. They carve a big hole in one of the local mushroom tree and fill it with their bodies to protect themselves from local weather. From the outside, it looks like a patch of scales on a tree.

They are flying scavengers, eating bodies of people or creature dying on the surface, but locals know to beware their presences, as if they are disturb or feel attacked they might clean up a living person of any meat in a mater of minutes. Every once in a while a tourist get devoured for touching that "strange patch of scale" on a tree.

Since they are iridescent, they are impossible to miss and pretty easy to avoid until provoked.

They are sometime referred to as "Iridescent Hunger"
