Description
The Skarthari Scarab is an insectile alpha predator from the quarantined planet Nokratus-4. Its bladed arms serve both as useful tools for cutting through the thick, dark jungles of it's homeworld as well as razor sharp dissectors used for bleeding out prey. Incredibly territorial and aggressive, Skarthari Scarabs deter most other would-be competitors from encroachment on their territory through attitude alone. The poisoned spines lining its carapace serve as further deterrents to other large predators.
Only the Nymphae Colossus, a giant Mega-flora from the same planet, has managed to tame these beasts using psionics and tranquilizing pollen mists.
