A carrion crawler is a large, insect-like creature that usually scavenges the remains of already dead things. However, sometimes it can be tempted into killing prey itself. They are territorial and aggressively protect their feeding grounds. They are usually found in dark places, and they may flee if wounded unless they're defending their territory.
The first carrion crawler was a failed arcane experiment.
## Attacks
- Move: Unsettling Scuttle: Shifts 8 square across the wall through all of us (through enemy spaces) and makes us all prone
- Move: It erupts in blue fire and wings burst out of its back. This may be relevant to the variant we saw in the [[Twisted Fane]].
- Psychic scream: It opens its mouth and makes a sound that we hear in our minds. Close blast 5. vs Will. On hit: confused. Psychic attack.
- Bite: 13 damage
- Tentacles: 21 vs Fortitude: stunned, save ends. Then Carrion Crawler shifts its speed, pulling creature with it.
