Buthida

The Buthida are an insectoid species native to Scarab. They appear to have a primitive civilization.

Physiology

A Buthida resembles a giant Terran scorpion, reaching lengths of 5 meters (with tail flat). They are jet black in colour, with small yellow spots scattered along the carapace. Their claws are not especially large for their size. Instead, the sting on the end of their tail injects powerful neurotoxins into their prey, which kills in seconds.

Diet

The Buthida are carnivorous, ambushing prey from up in the trees. Once the prey is dead, it is brought back to the pack of Buthidas and its flesh is distributed equally among the individuals.

Society

Buthida have been observed building primitive structures and tools, and seem to exhibit a form of language.
