Eater of Anomalies!!

An old OC concept I had years ago but never got around to drawing until now!! She's an ambiguously-defined arthropod mimicking much of the morphology and behaviour of a mantis, but isn't even an insect; her raptorial forelimbs are in fact two pairs of partially fused limbs. She eats anomalous entities of some eldritch variety oh wow!!!

(She may or may not appear much later down the line in my webcomic, oh wow!!!! As a bugkin also wish I had her form so badly ahh!!)
