Description
Carrion crawlers scour putrid flesh from carcasses and gobble the slimy bones that remain. They aggressively attack any creature that trespasses on their territory or disturbs their feasting.
A carrion crawler follows the scent of death to its food. These foul creatures thus hunker down in territories where death is plentiful. Unlike their terrestrial cousins they have no problem with other scavengers. They are often found around shipwrecks, the fresher the wreck the more plentiful their numbers. On the occasion that a larger carcass drifts to the sea floor you can expect to find large numbers of these gorging themselves on it until nothing remains of the corpse.
Though they are natural scavengers they have no issue striking at fresh prey when the opportunity presents itself. usually lashing out from hidden positions with poisoned tentacles that can leave their prey paralyzed and vulnerable to being devoured alive. The most notable difference from their land based counterparts is a large prawn like tail they can use to quickly propel themselves through the water.
