Razor Jets are a species of cicadas that are rare to find as they are only native to one place in the Unhellish Planes and do not appear in other places. They are very skilled hunters and have a unique way of engaging in combat.

When these insects find their prey, they fly around them at great speeds and in great numbers, forming a large tornado of these insects that will slash and cut the unfortunate animal caught in the middle of it. What is the most unique about the insect is the way they gain these speeds: two large jet propellers coming out of their abdomens. Razor Jets are capable of using a secretion from inside their abdomens to create an explosive reaction from these propellers that boost them forward and leave behind a trail of fumes. The fumes left behind from the Razor Jets also act as a nerve agent, entering the body of those that the Razor Jets have cut up. This hunting strategy has proved very efficient as seen by the Razor Jets thriving in their natural habitats. There even exist a Tveskali of one of these insects, which have become one of the most well known assasins/bounty hunters among the Unhellish Planes. His lightning fast movements have got him the nickname "Fulgur" and few have lived after an encounter with him.
