Abyssal Skulker

Deep Brine Stalker

A barbed scavenger that prowls the lower cloud shelves where no rationed sunlight reaches. It glides through thick mist without a sound, stalking any climber whose footing gives way on the wet stone. When prey falters, it drives its serrated stinger straight through steel plate and lets the weight of the cloud sea finish the kill. Whatever remains, it drags down into the Abyss.

Thrust a barbed barb through armor: 55 pure damage.

Thrust a barbed barb through armor: 192.5 pure damage.

Prowling the sunless cloud shelves where light never penetrates, this barbed scavenger hunts by scent and vibration along wet stone ledges. Gliding silently through the grey fog on chitinous legs, it positions itself behind unsteady prey. It thrusts its segmented black stinger straight forward, punching a needle-sharp barb clean through heavy steel plates to pierce vital organs with merciless, unmitigated precision.

Appearance

The abyssal skulker is a predatory aquatic scavenger beast the size of a crouching human, prowling the sunless cloud shelves where rationed sunlight never reaches. It has a low-slung, multi-legged torso resembling an abyssal scorpion, a flattened triangular head with clusters of milky blind eyes, and razor mandibles. Its body is encased in glossy, barbed chitin plates of deep indigo and ink-black, slick with cold sea slime and encrusted with small white barnacles. It moves silently on six jointed scuttling legs, while its primary weapon is an elongated, arched tail ending in a needle-sharp, serrated black stinger that punches straight through heavy steel plates to pierce vital organs. Cold drops of phosphorescent teal venom steadily drip from its stinger. Palette: abyssal indigo, ink black, phosphorescent teal. Silhouette hook: a low-crouching chitinous stalker with a high-arched, serrated stinger tail.
