Morblint is a [[Nature]] and [[Light]]-type [[Creo]] and the larval stage of the line that runs through [[Blightallow]] to [[Nocteir]]. It is 4 centimeters long and 40 grams, one of the smallest Creo recorded.

The pale spots along a Morblint's shell hold a slow, steady light that rises and falls like a pulse. Threatened, the grub dumps the whole store at once in a single flash and then curls up and stops moving, hoping that whatever was about to eat it has lost track of where it was.

== Biology ==
Morblint is a segmented grub with a hard charcoal shell, ringed at each joint with amber spots. It has short legs beneath and almost no head to speak of, and it moves in the slow rippling gait of something that has never needed to be anywhere quickly. Curled, it is a smooth disc with no exposed soft tissue at all.

The light is produced in tissue directly under each spot and stored rather than emitted continuously. A feeding Morblint builds the store over hours, which is what produces the slow pulse, and a startled one can empty it in a fraction of a second. Recharging takes most of a day, so the defense works once and then leaves the grub with nothing but its shell.

Morblint feed on decaying leaf litter and fungus on the floor of old woodland and inside ruins, and they are gregarious without being social, gathering wherever the litter is deepest. Their whole lifespan is about five years, most of it spent as a grub, and only a small fraction of a brood ever reaches the winged stages that follow.
