The Nebulars
A religious team of hunters — the Nebular Sin Patrol on the hunters' map, camped at Alucarda with a claim on Carl, bishop hats and a Ballad of Survival ('violence breeds chaos') — whose priests die in the street at Alucarda, caught between Carl's explosives and the mantises. Pacifists outside the dungeon, Drick says.

By book
The Nebulars in book 5 — The Butcher's Masquerade
The Nebular Sin Patrol on the hunters' map, hunting Prepotente and Miriam Dom (ch. 15); camped at Alucarda and claiming the right to hunt Carl in their territory (ch. 33); at war with the mantids long ago, and, per Uptown Hal, they got what they deserved for squatting in a hive system — bishop hats and a Ballad of Survival (ch. 34). Their priests' magic missiles and fireballs slam the tavern, and ten die in the burning pub (ch. 35); Carl gets Hunter Killer boxes for three nebs (ch. 36); Mordecai thinks Lucia's exploit was meant to capture them (ch. 37).
