Abilities

Reproduction

Nerscylla appears to have two methods of reproduction as seen with a cluster of eggs wrapped in a strange cocoon like growth hanging from ceiling of the hive while the second method appears to be parasitic as seen when a surviving lincoln is found complaining of chest pains the cause is revealed as having multiple boil like eggs on the side of his Torso hatch into numerous tiny spiders

Weaknesses

Nerscylla have displayed an aversion to sunlight refusing to come out during the day to hunt preferring a nocturnal lifestyle they also appear to be harmed by fire after multiple individuals was set aflame by artemis which the burning creatures panicked and squirmed however one individual was shown to still pursue artemis while on fire but was deterred when leftover bullets was tossed onto the creatures flaming carapace setting off small explosive reactions

Nerscyllas carapace is unable to protect it from the oversized blade of the hunters greatsword as shown when a single jump down vertical slice was able to bisect one of the Spider monsters head in half with ease
