User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Shrouded Nerscylla/@comment-5020152-20160403001057

Definitely one of the better subspecies. Nerscylla was already an awesome monster, so it's not like Shrouded Nerscylla is any less fun. The idea of a desert spider is cool, the burrowing is a neat way to substitute for the "crawling upside-down" mechanic that ordinary Nerscylla employs, and the way she can use her Web Slinging multiple times in a row is pretty interesting (even if it does get irritating after a while).

I also like how Shrouded Nerscylla is apparently supposed to inhabit the desert, and the Nerscyllas in the Sunken Hollow were babies that floated there on webchutes and decided to stick around. They have pale exoskeletons, too, which makes sense seeing as how they live entirely in caves and get very little sunlight. Just goes to show that life finds a way, no matter what.

That said, I kind of like the ordinary Nerscylla more, just because the dark Gypceros cloak, purple spines, and pale exoskeleton kind of fit her design more than a white overcoat with yellow spines.
