Bugs & Spiders (sage study)

Bugs & spiders is a sage study in the field of Animal Life, examining multi-legged, exoskeletal insects, characterized by antennae, pincers, stingers, wings and a wide variety of other features. Knowledge of bugs & spiders includes identification of creatures in the larval stage and insectoid humanoids, as well as forms such as the giant beetles, hornets, scorpions, spiders or wasps.

The study does include creatures of strangeness that are largely insect-like, such as ankhegs, carrion crawlers, phase or snow spiders, stirges and so on, but would not include hybridized creatures such as a manticore with a scorpion's tail.
