This is based on one of the sketches I did in December. The concept is superficially similar to lycanthropy. The monster is actually a parasite/symbiote possessing a humanoid host. It turns them into murderous, armored slaves of some mysterious hive mind. Paradoxically enough, those that are murderous to begin with actually maintain their free will. A curse to some, a boon to others.
But clearly, Werelobster Hivebeast is not a cool name... or is it? LoL. Any suggestions?
