Description
Xarakh'keth, the Grand Burrower, is a Colossus Ankheg Matriarch. She is considered to be the largest living specimen, although there are rumors of people finding larger chitin sheds of her kind. She burrows deeper underneath the ground, forming large tunnels large enough for any giant to comfortably stand in, and for any young dragon to fly in. Normal Ankhegs are the bane of farmers whose grazing livestock are easy prey for these monsters, however, Xarakh'keth is known for being the destroyer of small isolated towns/settlements because she can devour them in very little time. She only surfaces every 30-40 years to eat, and when she does, there are tell-tale signs. Normally there are random sinkholes in stable ground close to small towns/settelments. When travelers see this, they alert the people that live nearby. After this everyone flees to larger cities for refuge. The settlers leave all their food and live stalk, so that Xarakh'keth doesn't go for another town. Xarakh'keth prefers to hunt alone, but the normal Ankhegs use her tunnels to gather. Small Ankhegs make nests that can be challenging to wipe out unless the monsters’ tunnels are cleared out and their eggs destroyed. Since Xarakh'keth burrows around towns, creating sinkholes, normal Ankhegs use them to then continue attacking that settlement. Overall, while Xarakh'keth is gone many believe her to be going around the globe visiting other continents. Although many people do not talk about her, there are times when random villages will disappear from other continents, almost as if they were never there.
