Bad Guys

Post by Joshua »

Scarabs (real name unpronounceable)

Scarabs are swarms of 1' long cockroach-like bugs. While superficially like a slider, a scarab has no issue controlling multiple bodies or with the multiple sensory inputs. Scarabs always have one bug kept elsewhere, just in case. On the plus side, the range of a scarab's soul is less than a typical slider, usually restricted to a planet and its moons.

Typically, these swarms link together like army ants to from 'bodies' of roughly humanoid shape and size.

One of the quickest ways to kill a scarab is to teleportation... However, they are all master necromancers. Unless you catch them by surprise they can cast soul-protection spells. On the other hand, such spells need to be cast per body, so... it'll still reduce their number.

Massively powerful necromancers. Can animate corpses, dead ships, and shreds. Can attack souls, bind dead spirits, and can protect souls that pass through teleporters

When killed, returns to necromantic prison for resurrection.
