Editing Crawler (section)

==Trivia==
*In [[Guts and Glory]], an early draft of [[Worm]], Crawler's names were "Skitter"<ref>The first draft extended from the day that The Brockton Bay Brigade found Amy to the day she got her powers. Kind of unique among those early stories because it remained relatively unscathed through multiple drafts & the worldbuilding that followed. Almost to the point that I could point to it and call it all canon. This was where I first introduced the Nine. Jack (Jack Knife), Crawler (‘Skitter’) and Shatterbird (‘Breaker’) and Mannequin were all in the group, more or less as they are here, along with others that included Nice Guy and Murder Rat. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/09/29/prey-14-8/#comment-4574 Comment by] Wildbow on [[Prey 14.8]]</ref> and "Troll".<ref>The first iteration of the Nine, back when I was writing a story with Glory Girl and Panacea as protagonists, the members included many of the same people. Crawler (then named ‘Troll’), Shatterbird (‘Breaker’), Bonesaw (The Maiden) and some who aren’t in this iteration. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/08/02/interlude-13%c2%bd-donation-bonus/#comment-3340 Comment by Wildbow] on [[Interlude 13.5 (Donation Bonus)]]</ref> The name Troll may stem from [[Wikipedia:Dungeons & Dragons|Dungeons & Dragons]], where trolls are monsters that possess supernatural regeneration. The name Skitter ended up being used for [[Taylor Hebert]].
*Was "unstoppable" in the words of [[Wildbow]] and included in the [[Nine]] due to the author's admitted predisposition of torturing his characters.<ref>'''1114:''' [...]Why oh why author did you give creepy evil mass murderer psychopaths TWO unstoppable guys? [...]<br />'''Wildbow:'''Why did I give them two unstoppable guys?<br /><br />I’m a sadist. I admit it. I’ve got a bit of a streak of schadenfreude in me. I enjoy being mean to my characters.<br /><br />But I’m also glad when they rise above whatever I’ve decided to inflict on them, so it tends to balance out, thankfully. - [http://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/07/24/interlude-12/#comment-3198 conversation] in [[Interlude 12]]</ref>
* When the Nine are on the move or dormant, Crawler is able to stay hidden because he has sharp senses and can be quiet, fast, and strong. He can travel through the many unlit areas of rural America at night and keep an eye out for trouble.<ref>'''Blastweave:''' On the subject of the S9 moving around- something I've been wondering was how did they move around quietly once Crawler got up to Kaiju size? Did they just keep hijacking semi trucks? Did they travel as the crow flies?<br><br>'''Wildbow:''' He's not kaiju sized. He's large vehicle size. He's got sharp senses, he can be quiet, fast, and strong, and can cut through fields, undergrowth, and other stuff that isn't lit up by streetlights, keeping an eye out for trouble. If you look at the backroads of rural America at night, there's a ~lot~ of dark and relatively few lit places. - Conversation with Wildbow on Reddit</ref><!-- https://redd.it/jbbu1f -->
