How it fights
A swarm is not one fight. It is the same small fight over and over until you are sick of it. Singly they are nothing worth the name. Together they are a subtraction that never quite stops, and whatever you spend on one of them is wasted on all the rest. What finishes people here is rarely damage. It is attrition, and the temptation to clear just one more room before resting.
Field notes
The great scorpions hide from the sun under stone and come out when the stone cools, and they hunt on the ground where a foot goes. They glow faintly under a certain light and not at all under any other. The tail comes over the back before the claws close, and the claws are the distraction. In the cold they crowd together under one rock, and the rock is the wrong one to turn.
Where it is met
Met in Dunes of Northern Karan Coast, the Rolling Sand Sea, Spring of Karan Heartland and Flats of Karan Heartland, by travellers of levels 1 to 5.
