3D models for the five enemy bugs and the nasty alien. 

Jupingo is a jumping spider. He is an incredibly clever and cunning creature that has to survive in a forest full of six legged, manic freaks that are completely bonkers. By using his remarkable ability to jump, spin super strong threads and being inventive, Jupingo is able to outwit the nasty bugs that are out to get him.

The Crushers have the brain the size of a cracked pinhead and the stubbornness of a dead donkey. They are incredibly strong and compulsive hoarders of stuff. They will grab and move anything that catches their attention and no matter what it takes, move and dump it on an ever growing mountain of junk in the middle of their nesting area.

These brutes are the bug bullies of the forest. The Impalers get their kicks from ramming anything that moves, including cute, defenceless baby ladybirds. When moving in packs the Impalers sometimes stampede through the forest smashing and trampling everything in their path. The best way to stop them is to chuck a bus sized rock on their despicable heads.

Take a deranged, knife wielding chef and cross him with an over enthusiastic dog whose marbles rushed out all at once and you've got a Slicer. They've mastered the art of subdivision and it's usually practiced on some hapless victim’s body parts. They are massively stupid but very, very dangerous.

The Spitters are mean, cruel, nasty characters. These arrogant, acid spitting cretins are devious assassins that hunt down their prey and relish in dragging out the agonizing final kill for as long as possible. They love the thrill of the chase and the squirming agony of their victims. Avoid at all cost.

These are the most neurotic, scary pants bugs imaginable. The Screamers would even jump at a dead dust mite. When they are startled, which is often, they blast out an almighty, hysterical scream. The scream produces a blast wave that will make a tsunami look like a ripple in your bath water.

Clopters are invading aliens from the planet Cy. They are clumsy and have messed up their planet's climate causing devastating hail storms. Now they've come to earth to abduct baby spiders to work as slaves in their umbrella factories. The super strong spider threads can bounce off any size hail stone and is much lighter than their current concrete umbrellas.
