Miss Nadine
SupportingAn enormous long-bodied caterpillar with a thick coat of fuzzy fur and prominent black quills and bristles that cover her form, allowing her to brush past like a car wash when moving at speed. As a Bearded Sage Caterpillar she undulates rapidly through jungle terrain, produces wet chittering and hissing sounds, smells strongly of wet moss, and bears a large saddle on her back to serve as a six-seater mount. While her overall shape appears deceptively cute from afar, her true bug-like insectoid face is horrifyingly alien and best avoided up close.
Miss Nadine first appears in Book 5 as a formidable Bearded Sage Caterpillar mount, her massive, quill-covered body serving as a six-seater transport through the treacherous jungle terrain of the fifth floor. Her deceptively adorable silhouette belies a truly alien visage, and her rapid undulating movement through dense foliage makes her an invaluable asset for Carl's party. Across the series, she transitions from a mere beast of burden to a recurring companion whose unique physiology and speed become integral to the crawlers' survival strategies.
