not totally sure of this, but isn't spipi a female? i don't know, something about the name
spipi makes it seem female... granted, this is just a pronoun issue, but it seems most of the cralwer NM's seem to have female names:
awd goggie,
matron crawler,
queen crawler,
spiny spipi... not so sure, but in this sense i'd say that the crawler NM's are female, much like ant colonies are predominantly female. granted, these are "caterpillars," per se, but i have yet to see a butterfly (or other mature form) of these creatures. not too mention that exoskeletons fail to work on species when they are that large, thus rendering anticans and crawlers useless. take that back, there is a giant crab in the pacific, it's totally marine though so different rules apply. but not like that matters, vanadiel is a fantasy world, where the "hominids" were created from a goddess' tears... speaking of that, the galkans' would technically all be female, as females are required to pass on genetic information (if asexual). males are just there to spice it up. ~_^ ok, i think bio science is getting out of hand in this post alone...
needless to say, congrats on taking down spipi
and getting the coveted
mist silk cape. i have felled her twice now, and only gotten
silk thread. speaking of, she also (according to the info of this site) drops
mistral sabots, and yet i have never heard of them dropping off her. any one know for certain about such a drop?
