A pupa

Pupae (singular: pupa) are the Skaarj offspring, borne by the Skaarj Queen. At this point in their life cycle, Skaarj are quadrupedal, have a green skin, and somewhat resemble Earth's spiders. They have mandibles that later turn into the adult Skaarj's tusks. Pupae's presence can often be detected by the distinctive sound they make.

The Skaarj life cycle can be compared to that of Earth's honey bees. Either the name "pupa" was chosen poorly for what is actually a larva, or the Skaarj life cycle works differently from that of Earth's animals.

Skaarj pupae appear in Unreal at the end of the game, where they are both spawned and protected by the Skaarj Queen. Everytime the player kills a pupa, the Queen will shriek and counter-attack immediately. Pupae also feature in UT2004's Invasion gametype.

-A Pupae is a [[Skaarj]] in its baby form, and looks like a little green, four-legged spider. For the [[Skaarj Queen]], Pupaes are really important, as they respresent the future of the reptilian-like alien race. That can be proven if you kill a Pupae in front of the Skaarj Queen. She will scream and immediately attack you.
