“繁育”，塔伊兹育罗斯

“如果正午的天边浮现了黑影，闭紧你的房门——那不是提前到来的夜色，而是饥肠辘辘的虫群。”
——阿德里安•斯宾塞-史密斯，《有关星空的寓言集》

塔伊兹育罗斯，又称“虫皇”、“沙王”，寰宇蝗灾的创造者。
作为统治大地的鞘翅目的最后一员，孤独的渴望点燃了祂的命途。塔伊兹育罗斯化为自我复制的恐怖，无尽繁衍的荒潮。祂——或者说——祂们横行诸界，直到命运以某种方式阻止了祂的前进。

The Propagation — Tayzzyronth

"Hurry and shut your doors and windows if shadows appear at the noontide horizon, for that is no early dusk but the hungering Swarm."
— Fables About the Stars by Adrian Spencer Smith

Tayzzyronth, also known as the Imperator Insectorum, the Sand King, and the creator of the Swarm Disaster.
As the last member of the Coleoptera that rules the land, THEIR Path was ignited out of a desire born from loneliness. Tayzzyronth metamorphosed into a self-duplicating horror, a torrent of infinite propagation. Tayzzyronth — Tayzzyronths rather — fluttered across the worlds until THEIR advances were halted by fate in some way.
