Overview[]
Scarabs are social insects, like bees or ants. They form colonies lead by a single queen that lays her eggs in an underground nest. The nest is built and guarded by Scarab Nest Builders as well as other Scarabs serving as "soldiers". Scarabs will usually be burrowed beneath the earth and will dig up in groups of 3-4 as potential prey approaches them. They seem to be able to manipulate arcane forces, specifically necromancy. Individually they are weak, but in groups they can pose a threat.
