The insect arc would include 3 distinct evolutionary paths:
Roach- Completely immune to pollution but cant kill. All parts scale with reduced size and ability
Roach Head-increased feeding from scavenging food, unable to kill directly.
Roach Body- Increased Social and the ability to create burrows. Extremely Squishy.
Roach Legs- incredibly fast
Mosquito-Able to leach HP from creatures. Is very fast but squishy. All Parts scale with decreased size and ability. It is also very social.
Mosquito Proboscis - Allows leaching of HP. Does very little damage but restores a lot of HP. It reverse scales the amount you leach with increased size or physical. Meaning to leech the most you want to do very little damage and be unnoticed.
Mosquito Wings- Enables fast flight and the ability to be undetected from behind.
Mosquito Legs- Not good for walking but help scale speed since they are light and small.
Waterbug/skitter- It thrives on the water moving incredibly fast on water. It has an increase to evolution points from fish and a debuff to meat and fruit. Is solitary and its damage will scale with movement speed and small size.
Skitter Rostrum- This is a sharp needle like mouth that can pierce even the sharpest of armor.
Preapical Claws- Unlike most arms in game this will not be for attacking instead it will be for keeping it afloat in the water.
Skitter Legs- These legs will allow it to detect vibrations in the water to tell where prey (or predator) are to locate a potential meal.
