The Imperial Scarab is a fairly large organism found primarily on the floating islands of AR-Y 26.

Anatomy[]

The imperial scarab is a large crustacean-like creature. Its main body is split into different segments, each having a set of paddle-like wings that allow it to float just above the ground. The mouth is covered with numerous tentacles, with two sets of eyes situated just above them. Just on its forehead is a long horn that ends in a forked tip.

Its key feature though is its chitinous shell that covered much of its back and sides, the armor strong enough to withstand man-made devices and weapons. Even with its durability, many adult imperial scarabs have numerous hair-thin fissures running along their shells and their horn.

Behavior[]

Imperial scarabs are very docile creatures, likely thanks to their armor making them usually not a target to native predators. Even so, they are known to release an electrical charge when bothered, one that is able to reach and link other imperial scarabs within the same vicinity.
