User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Nerscylla/@comment-4702773-20150429142121

Nerscylla is a really great monster. I'm honestly surprised how long it took to get a giant spider monster though. But they did it really well. A lot of giant spider horror films depict the usual big, hairy spider that moves sluggishly and whatnot. Nerscylla's sleek design and practically sparractic moveset makes for a great fight. A lot of people say that Ner moves too much and is an annoying fight, but I disagree. When hunting one, I'm almost always next to it, slashing away at its six legs. Yes, I said six. For some reason, our friend Nerscylla, the only Temnoceran to be confirmed to exist at present, only has six legs. And the page for Temrocerans states that all of them only have six legs, but I can't help but wonder why? Why not just give them eight legs? What's the harm of two more legs to make them that much more spider-ish? I guess it really doens't matter. Maybe Temnos only have six legs because they're Temnocerans, and not spiders? Maybe it would be too annoying to have the sound of two more legs as Nerscylla just straight up wanders away from the fight? Crunch... Crunch... crunch.. Where the heck is it going?
