“	“A bug-like monster with four legs and a single eye that leaps around wildly in a fight. Its erratic movements make it hard to read.”
	— Encyclopedia

     These four-limbed, one-eyed carnivorous insects are aggressive hunters. Tektites usually hunt in groups of three to eight. Tektite packs have an odd tactic: they leap great distances, then body slam their hard underbellies and legs into the prey with the intention of breaking bones and preventing escape. Once a foe is sufficiently unable to resist, a tektite slowly devours the disabled prey in nibbling bites, often while the victim is still alive. Tektites hunt indiscriminately, slamming into everything from small birds to traveling merchants, but rarely approach foes several times their size.
     Blue varieties are remarkably tougher than the equally renowned red, with harder exoskeletons, higher leaps, and a peculiar ability to glide over the surface of water. Compared to their kin, blue tektites tend to favor aquatic biomes.
