<br />-> Lightning Ngung
<br />-> Web Ngung]]
Being from Fluz descent, the Ngung is able to produce silk. There are two varieties which they create: A sticky spray used to distract predators, and a more refined type for building small cocoon-like nests on the undersides of leaves. 

===Lightning Ngung===

<br />->Aphid Ngung]]
The Lightning Ngung is a nocturnal species that uses bioluminescence to communicate. They nest together in large silken hives.

<br />'''Aphid Ngung'''

<br />Progenitor: Lightning Ngung]]
This Ngung species has a specialized diet. Their mouth parts form a proboscis which is used to drink the fluids of the azrach trees and their fruits.



===Web Ngung===

<br />Status: <span style="color:#FF0000">'''Extinct'''</span>
<br />Progenitor:Nesting Ngung
<br />-> Great Web Ngung
<br />-> Spider Ngung]]
These Ngungs spin webs to catch other flying bugs to eat. They mostly catch other species of ngungs, but occasionally the webs will snare the larger ribboners.
They inject the prey with their stomach acids, which slowly dissolve their innards.




===Great Web Ngung===

<br />'''Great Web Ngung'''
<br />Status: <span style="color:#008000">'''Extant'''</span>
<br />Progenitor: Web Ngung
<br />-> Stalker Ngung]]
The Great Web Ngung is a fiercely territorial creature, and will kill other ngung unless it's the mating season. The wings have hardened into protective plates over the ngung's back, which aids in protecting it from predators and more importantly, other web spinning ngungs.




===Stalker Ngung===

<br />'''Stalker Ngung'''
<br />Status: <span style="color:#008000">'''Extant'''</span>
<br />Progenitor:Great Web Ngung]]
The Stalker Ngungs are large insect-like creatures. They no longer make hunting webs, as they are too large to climb along the fine strands.
The ngungs are active hunters. They use the perpetual twilight of the marshes to their advantage, slowly creeping closer to their prey, until they pounce it and plunge their sharp, poisonous mandibles to its flesh. Against smaller creatures, the bite itself is enough to kill. The bigger ones will more likely succumb to the tissue dissolving toxin.
After a successful kill, the stalker lifts the creature to the canopy with its silk, and then sucks it dry, leaving only shriveled corpses as a sign of it's presence. 
The males have more elaborate horns, which they use to combat each other for territory, while the female horn is smaller with sharper edge, useful for defending itself and its eggs from predators. The males try to claim good, dense hunting areas of the canopy and attract females to it, so that they can mate. The females use their sharp horn and fangs to carve a hole into an azrach trunk, in which it makes a web nest that houses its eggs. They fiercely defend these nests until the eggs hatch, after which the young disperse to the forest.

<br />Progenitor: Web Ngung
<br />-> Crimson Ngung
<br />-> Ground Ngung]]
The Spider Ngung is much like the Web Ngung, except for their lack of wings. In the center of both compound eyes, they possess a larger simple eye.

===Crimson Ngung===

<br />'''Crimson Ngung'''
<br />Status: <span style="color:#FF0000">'''Extinct'''</span>
<br />Progenitor: Spider Ngung
<br />-> Termite Ngung]]
Herbivorous colony bugs which lived inside the webs they made and the holes they ate through the trees with their strong mandibles.

===Termite Ngung===

<br />'''Termite Ngung'''
<br />Status: <span style="color:#008000">'''Extant'''</span>
<br />Progenitor: Crimson Ngung]]
Termite Ngung live in the heartwood Azrach trees and eat them from the inside out. Living in near total darkness, their eyes atrophied into nothing. Instead, they navigate via their sensitive feelers and hairs, as well as chemical trails. There are four castes of this species: Worker, Soldier, Royal Guard, and Queen. Workers harvest food and predigest wood for solders and queen. Soldiers repel predators and other Ngung trying to bore into their tree. Their jaws made eating difficult, so they must be fed by the workers. Guards have thick, shield-like heads which are used to block passages into the nest. The queen is the sole reproducing female of the nest. Her laying chambers are house near the roots of an azrach, so when it eventually collapses, the queen and eggs are left unharmed.

===Ground Ngung===

<br />Status: <span style="color:#008000">'''Extant'''</span>
<br />Progenitor: Spider Ngung
<br />-> Strait Ngung
<br />-> Flex Ngung]]
Ground Ngungs are small ground predators. They prey on bugs smaller than themselves. They have lost much of the skin-irritating hair, due to it easily catching on fire in the frequent grass fires of the Burning Plains. They bury their eggs deep underground for protection.
They no longer produce the web silk, but do still spray the sticky defensive webbing.



===Strait Ngung===

<br />'''Strait Ngung'''
<br />Status: <span style="color:#008000">'''Extant'''</span>
<br />Progenitor: Ground Ngung]]
Strait Ngung are herbivorous bugs which live in the northern forest and plains of the continent. In autumn, they migrate south, to the Ashen Highlands.



===Flex Ngung===

<br />'''Flex Ngung'''
<br />Status: <span style="color:#008000">'''Extant'''</span>
<br />Progenitor: Ground Ngung
<br />-> Sand Ngung]]
Flex Ngung are tiny carnivores of the north. They have a flexible abdomen, which they are able to jut forward, allowing them to spray globs of silk to capture prey.



===Sand Ngung===

<br />'''Sand Ngung'''
<br />Status: <span style="color:#008000">'''Extant'''</span>
<br />Progenitor: Flex Ngung]]
Sand Ngung are very much like their progenitor species, in that they are predators which spray webbing at their prey. Unlike the Flex Ngung, they live along the southern coast.
