A Lubbock are creatures native to High Norland. It is purple in color and malevolent in nature. It has a humanoid body, but with head of an insect and thin, dragonfly like wings. Lubbock are solitary creatures who lay their eggs in their victims. These eggs develop, slowly killing their host. Eventually, one egg will hatch and eat the other eggs before destroying the host. If the host is male, he will simply die once the first born lubbock births; however, if the host is female, she will give birth as if she was birthing a normal human child. Instead of a normal birth, the female will give birth to a lubbockin, a strange human-lubbock hybrid that appears human except for its purple tinted skin and violet eyes. As with its lubbock parent, the lubbockin is also malevolent in nature.
