This is a monster representing the fear of separation from God by embodying the first plague of Revelations. As described in the Bible, this creature is a locust with a scorpion tail that stings those without the seal of the Lord on their foreheads and condemns them to separation from God. The inverted seal of God on its forehead is a rendition of what scholars believe this seal most likely will look like. Death is the greatest fear of society, but separation from God is the greatest fear of those who love Him.
