	The '''Huldra''', (''Insecrustator vocalis'') also known as the '''Edgewater Mimic''', is an [[exobiotic species]] that inhabits numerous worlds across the [[Far Frontier]]. It is the sole recognized member of the genus Insecrustator and is known from only a small number of captured or recovered specimens. Genetic research indicates that only one species likely exists. Huldra cannot survive in captivity for more than a few days, limiting deeper research into its physiology and behavior.		The '''Huldra''', (''Insecrustator vocalis'') also known as the '''Edgewater Mimic''', is an [[Exobiotic Life\|exobiotic species]] that inhabits numerous worlds across the [[Far Frontier]]. It is the sole recognized member of the genus Insecrustator and is known from only a small number of captured or recovered specimens. Genetic research indicates that only one species likely exists. Huldra cannot survive in captivity for more than a few days, limiting deeper research into its physiology and behavior.

	Exhibiting features of both insects and crustaceans, huldra are some of the most evolutionarily complex forms of life native to the [[Orion Arm]]. Adult huldra grow on average to be roughly 2.5 meters in height, they possess a robust exoskeleton with overlapping plates, large compound eyes, and between 2 and 8 antennae for sensory perception. Their mouths resemble the mandibles of terran lobsters, with mildly corrosive, and toxic saliva. Vestigial wings sprout from its dorsum, which can be folded or contorted to radically alter its silhouette. Specialized thoracic resonating chambers provide the ability to replicate human speech or the vocalizations of other animals.

	The huldra is an ambush predator, utilizing aggressive mimicry as a hunting and camouflaging strategy. It lures potential prey by mimicking the sounds of other fauna, using its powerful mandibles to incapacitate its victim, once it is within striking distance. It then injects a combination of proteolytic enzymes and neurotoxins through specialized salivary glands, effectively immobilizing and pre-digesting the prey.
