Very annoying encounter. Also I am working on this campagain with a friend who wants to dm and is assisting for this one to learn how. Some important points with scuttlers: They live in LARGE family groups (100-100,000), reproducing quickly and laying eggs (a delicacy) in a central chamber (Quest hook). They hunt in groups with the larger, more intelligent ones controlling the smaller ones with pheremones. They each have a star shaped peice of metal (adamantine) in their backs that grows as they consume anything with even microscopic amounts of adamantine in it's system. An entire nest will go after a single pound of adamantine until the weilder is dead or they all are. The size of the star in their back directly affects growth, making them much larger if they eat more of the metal. This very valuble trinket can be fished out of dead scuttlers with a Dc XX knowledge (dungeoneering) check and sold or made into items. Scuttlers are carnivourous, 16 legged monstrosities that will strip a living creature to the bone in minutes, an infestation is deadly and needs to be dealt with immediately after discovered (Quest hook). Do not feed the scuttlers. The new improved scuttler is here as well. Juvinile scuttlers, larger scuttlers and hatching scuttler swarms will be posted on this thread sometime soon. If you can think of any others go ahead and make a stat block. Feedback is appreciated Thanks -Sporemine Enjoy and give more feedback</blockquote>
