Within its swamp-like living quarters of skyscraper sized trees and vines as thick as a bus, the shape of a titanic insect could be seen lurking in the mash. Tarakona chittered as he dug his legs into the swamp bed, struggling to free his shining, new abdomen from the exoskeletal remains of his old. He had been molting for hours, crawling slowly out of his shed exoskeleton piece by piece. A cry of victory escaped the insects jaws as, with a final *pop*, his abdomen slid out from his old skin. The terataur flexed his body, testing its new capabilities. Now to wait for it to harden, and the insect's molting process would be complete.
It was one step closer to adulthood...

(OCC: Tarakona's size has increased. The height by 5 meters, the length by 10 meters, and the weight by 5000 tons. )
