Okay, in the face of the overwhelming evidence I must have dreamed (had nightmares?) about five legged Krashtkids:-) Having said that I'm sticking to them for my Glorantha anyway since it makes them weirder.

Cults of Terror, Pg 84:
"From the parts of the Mother hacked off by the Storm Bull grew tihe Krashtkids. Resembling (but much smaller) the Waiting Mouth, a Krarshtkid has a central body 1m in diameter with six legs jutting out around its perimeter at roughly equal spacings."

So the first mention of them is as symetrical (well, almost) beings with 6 legs.
