Terminus

Station 433, the 'last transit station' every employee tells you to get off at: one of six station mimics — a city boss, level 90, 23,000 crawler deaths — that swallows the first twenty of Bautista's four hundred like cheese rings, and later, as a railroad crossing on the tracks, is scooped whole into Trainyard E. Cut in half by Grull. Its minions are mouths on centipede legs that double when halved.

Arc

Madison is its benefits manager: six of them, cranky when under-fed (ch. 17). It eats twenty of Bautista's people (ch. 18), is scooped by a portal cart when it pretends to be a railroad crossing (ch. 28), fills Trainyard E as a block-sized blob and then a building with a three-hundred-foot mouth (ch. 28), and is halved by Grull in the Death Challenge (ch. 33). It drops the Map of the Stars (ch. 34). Under station 433, once it is gone, Carl guesses a stairwell has appeared (ch. 29); Katia works out why there are only six: each occupies two stations at once (ch. 30). Mordecai: the H'lene, who ate travellers at six waystations (ch. 30).
