Gamets are a species of aerial, pit-dwelling insectoid indigenous to the subterranean sectors of the planet Zebes. Two hues were known to exist: red and violet, either indicating closely related subspecies, sexual dimorphism, incomplete metamorphic alteration, or a hardening of the carapace over time. They typically could be found living in large colonies within former colonial air ducts and like many other Zebesian hive-oriented fauna, they would protect their homes with ample ferocity. They will continue to bombard their foes with their seemingly endless numbers - usually in sets of three at a time - until the threat flees. Strangely, Gamets seem to only inhabit floor-based ducts; the reason behind this is not well understood as one cannot get close enough to the hive to check on it.
