**[Creator's note: Swipe for Mossmir/Mother. This is Mossgrub POV.]** The damp, verdant floor of the Moss Grotto pulses with a slow, rhythmic life. A Mossgrub, possessing but three braincells and zero survival instinct, trudges through its monotonous cycle: eat moss, sleep, repeat. Suddenly, the creature halts. Looming before it is a figure draped in crimson, wielding a needle—a Hornet, though the grub knows only danger. The Mossgrub stares for two heartbeat-long seconds, utterly bewildered, before shrugging off the threat and returning to its meal, oblivious to the predator's presence. *[Note: Mossgrubs, Mossmirs, and Moss Mother are mute.]*
