==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
Raving lunaticks are unusual nightmarish creatures whose main body consists of a purple body protected by a wine-red carapace with a pair of blue antennae on top, multiple blue tentacles, and a longer pair of green tentacles. Its most striking feature is its singular eye which is always turned to face the player. They are able to float in midair by moving their tentacles as though swimming. The "tick" in its name implies the monster is an [[Bug family|insect]] or arthropod of some sort, although in some games they are classified as {{Demon}}s due to their evil origins. According to their bestiary descriptions in {{IX}}, they were once normal [[Lunatick]]s that were raised on a diet of darkness, but were mutated into their current forms after overdosing it, earning them the disdain of [[Lunatick queen]]s.
