Colossal Cathedral Mud Daubers

These mud daubers, like many daubers, predate on one specific species of spider ("cattle spider", a spider that predates primarily on cattle hoppers) and are considered beneficial to farmers and ranchers, as they ignore all bugs except their prey.

Their characteristic towers are constructed only from Dover chalk, which is found abundantly from monoliths scattered throughout Posteven's heavily farmed eastern floodplain, north and south of Coelary. The daubers bite off large chunks of chalk and then fly it to their towers, constructing them bit by bit. It is unknown why the towers are constructed separately instead of in groups; leading theories are that these larger predators prefer to separate towers by function, as each tower seems to be exclusively for an individual purpose (food storage, egg hatching, adult housing, etc). Close proximity may confuse young daubers as to where food sources are.

Each dauber is about the size of a car and shows no signs of understanding language or any other human activity, and are assumed to be feral, like many of Posteven's collossal insects.

Mom said she could have pizza OR have the party at the arcade. Karine chose pizza at the park. Karine had a lot of birthdays at the park.

Hilltop ruins park

Dig a few feet down and you'll find that the entire hill is really just a gargantuan pile of industrial wreckage, scooped up by enormous natural forces, sculpted into shape by water and earth, and then slowly grown over with organic matter.
