Swarm of Droans

Description
The dreadful insects known as droans looked like fist-sized silver beetles with blood red eyes. They were one of many side effects of the Transmuter Wars and the Hand of the Three. Mutated from ordinary locusts, the voracious, carnivorous creatures possessed a droning sound which had the ability to confuse and disorient those who heard it. Once a target fell unconscious from the droning sound, the swarm of droans covered the creature and started to devour it while it was still alive.

Heralds of Loikiel. The infamous Transmuter Loikiel created many horrors which plagued southwestern Omeria through the end of the age. However, the droans were particularly well-known as he would send forth the insects to destroy fields and livestock prior to the arrival of his armies. Even the danaavrakt grew to despise and eventually fear the droans as the fiends themselves were not immune to the droans' natural, mind-numbing effects. Later, the goblins of Gar Wabrizz used droans against the elves during their invasion of Olyothyr. Droan swarms plagued the Sabalona, making travel from Olyothyr into Gar Wabrizz extraordinarily difficult.
