| Physical Description | She's the stuff of dreams: glossy black and blue hair, deep soulful eyes (all eight of them), and legs that just won't quit. She's also the stuff of nightmares: fangs that are an inch and a half long; eight beady little eyes and eight super-long, hairy legs. Though her fangs are scary-looking, what drives most humanoids to scream when they see her is her size: she's larger than a dinner plate, with a leg span, from the left front to the back right legs, of nearly fourteen inches. When she rears back in a defensive attack stance with her front legs up, she 'stands' just over a foot tall. Thanks to silk-producing glands on her tarsi, she can scale walls and walk on the ceiling. |

Personality & Traits
| General Overview | Ever since being 'awakened' by a Tholian crystal and a burst of psionic energy (that's the going theory of how she acquired her intelligence and sentience), Ignatius has shown herself to be highly inquisitive - to the point of being annoying, at times. She will pepper a person with questions (usually Oralia), until that person is ready to scream. She's a chatterbox. She's a bit like a toddler: literal and into everything. Assimilated by the Borg. Recovered with Oralia Zeferino, Dae Nalas, Patrick Smith, and Bryce Kendrick. |

| Strengths & Weaknesses | S: She's... um... yeah, she has no strengths. W: A fall from more than a few inches will kill her. W: A smack on her abdomen will kill her. W: She doesn't quite understand certain cultural phenomena, such as the bipedal females' tendency not to eat their mates, even when said mates are causing angst. |
