Buttersnake! Buttersnake!
[item= ultimate buttersnake]
I ended up thinking about the change theme lol
[item= glass cicada][item=cicada]
I love cicadas as a symbol of change in addition to butterflies!
[item= molten tadpole]
and a less pretty and symbolic bug that goes through metamorphosis:
[item= bloated maggot][item= bloodfly]
Durable while in the nymph form, this cicada gets its name for the shimmering, fragile wings it gains later in life.

As much of a nuisance as a nutritious food source, the bloodfly can cause an unsightly rash at the location of a bite.

Scary Storybook
Trinkets
The foreword indicates that these are best told in the dark. The black and white illustrations throughout are crude, sketchy, and haunting. Don't read the one about the neck ribbon.
The mock firebird is not a firebird at all. This avian’s plumage mimics the colors of a true firebird to protect it from predators.
