Rusties are a mostly domesticated species of large insect. They have a sheddable shell that can be augmented by their partial diet of metal. Rusties vary from the size of a large dog to that of a large cow and typically have a long forked tail, two antannae, and six legs. While they do walk like other creatures, an excited Rustie is known to skip while running. Rusties were domesticated separately by Goruns and Rjkari.

Farmed or Scavenger Rusties come in two major variants; Farmed rusties are large(3 hexes sharing a single point) with a heavy carapace. Farmed Rusties treat any rustie ability who's name contains the word "hide" as a heavy armour ability and may select heavy armour abilities. Scavenger rusties are smaller(1 hex) and far more nimble. Scavenger rusties treat rustie abilities who's name contains the word "hide" as light armour abilities and may select dodge abilities.

Diet Rusties are herbivores similar to cows. Though they have a bacteria on their feelers that are able to break down any metal into a form consumable by the rustie.
