A lot of true form insect spirits get armor equal to Force - 1 or
something close to that. That is against *all* attacks; then add in the
manifest armor against ranged attacks, and you get almost Force x 3 in
armor rating... Many have paralyzing touch, a really nasty power if you
get swarmed, and the queens/mothers/etc. tend to have things like
compulsion, fear, pestilence, and venom. IMO a high-Force queen is just
as bad as a dragon, just in a slightly different way.
