Introducing the Scarabs – those crustacean-like creatures in Monarch: Legacy of Monsters S2!

We finally have an official name for those swarming crustacean critters from Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2! Thanks to a fresh interview between Collider and LoM VFX Supervisor Sean Konrad, we know these creatures are known as Scarabs and we also have a closer look at their design!

We are often looking for ways to put our actors into spaces with creatures and have them on more direct eye level, in part because there’s a limit to what our actors can do about a 300 foot monster except for run and hide or be astonished (although there’s one sequence where I think we do something pretty crazy and unique). The scarabs are a good example of something that fits in human-sized space — having a creature running loose on the interior of a ship or in the Axis Mundi pod puts our characters on a more even playing field with them.
