Oh! Those things looks a lot like the Scythid from Borderlands. I thought they were only fiction, but seems like the developers took inspiration from those creatures. I learned something new today, thanks.
I've always found woodlice to be somewhat adorable, I know when they curl up, they're frightened or scared, but I tend to pick them up if they're in my home or near any places where I usually walk in my garden and place them near any kind of rotting wood or leaves, somewhere out of the way but comfortable enough for them to have a feast.
Agree with all of the above about the adorability of isopods. (Even the giant ones look kind of endearing to me in their oversized, chunky, bumbling way.) Frankly, I'm a little surprised that it took the artist so long to include them.
I know she's already done a millipede, but the particularly short pill millipedes are also especially adorable. Plus they look so much like isopods that you have another cricket vs. G-buri scenario. :)
I find Isopods of all sizes to be utterly fascinating. They tend to straddle the line between Insect and Crustacean, and it's really interesting how their taxonomy and biology works.
Isopods are legitimately as cute IRL (at least to me) as they are here.

If you like gardening, take cafe of your pillbugs. I've heard that sometimes they're treated as pests, but I've never seen this problem.
They are considered as pests for sprouting plants, since they can chew on the roots of newly germinating plants. However, their main food is actually decaying plant matter, and if your plants get eaten by them it means those are either dying from overwatering or fungal infections.
