So has anybody else noticed crawlers appearing without any messaging or am I just going crazy?
Note the lack of crawlers in the first look, no messaging for its entrance, and there it is in that last look before I move:
[The Rift]
Spectres crowd around you. Their ghostly hands reach out to touch you, seeking the warmth and vitality only the living have. But as each grasping figure makes contact it draws back, wailing in pain as if burned. Still the others seek to feel you, expressions of hunger on their haunted faces. You also see a glistening cerebralite.
Obvious paths: northeast, southeast

A glistening cerebralite lurches forward, its eyes swiveling wildly as if looking for something.
Rising higher into the air, a glistening cerebralite turns back and forth, its eyes moving in opposing directions with a frantic expression.
You leap from hiding to attack!
You swing a serrated vultite badelaire at a glistening cerebralite!
A translucent shell appears around the cerebralite, absorbing most of the blow.
