Falling Starbug
Bug Phase II Original Form
As the form of contracts with sprites changed and the appearance of Gulu Orbs evolved through generations, this species' appearance gradually changed as well. Someone once attempted feeding them with special Gulu Orbs; the insect's form changed after several years, but the experiment was discontinued—presumably due to insufficient funding.

Notes
- Falling Star Bug is a Bug-type creature with relatively high Magic Defense (77), moderate Speed (80), balanced but low dual attack (62), positioned as a utility/support-type creature
- Trait 'Shape of Contract' effect depends on capture ball used, unstable in actual combat, not a primary consideration when building
- Skill pool focuses on physical output, devotion system, and defensive counters, lacking powerful same-type high-damage skills.
- Bug Strike (90 energy) has strict double power conditions, Bug Curse (100 energy) is too costly, low output efficiency
- Core mechanics revolve around "Devotion": Flying Cut / Feigned Sleep / Insect Formation can stack Devotion, while Bite / Swarm can consume Devotion to gain bonuses.
- Rich reaction skills (Cover/Bug Formation/Intimidate), suitable as defensive pivot or forced retreat utility
