After some time, the tunnel they were in widened into a cavern; its floor was littered with the remains of thaids. They had been killed by the Chimaeric Demons, but there were not as many corpses as one would expect the Clones to have produced.
The reason was simple: thaids on Mur were too strong, and the clones struggled against these bug-like thaids when there were too many.
The group had to go through the area, avoiding the scattered bodies of the insectoid creatures as if they were on an obstacle course.
The scene gave them the creeps, but not because of the carnage, but because of the dead Thaids' bodies themselves.
Most of the fallen thaids resembled oversized beetles, with chitinous shells cracked and splintered from the clones' attacks.
Their iridescent wings lay scattered across the ground, though some of the luckier ones still had their wings attached to their dog-sized thoraxes.
