Description[]
A fire resistant, large, fast, native spider type creature with a hard exoskeleton.
Lore[]
This mysterious creature is mainly known for its size and the speed of its attack. Rumours abound in regards to its origins though many prospectors consider them to be the guardians of Prometheus and stay well away from their nests.
These creatures were first discovered by a Group 15 scientist posted at the only volcanic station on Icarus. After a tiring day of exploration and surveying it is believed they strayed off course on the return to their base. They managed to send a blurry and frantic stream to Group 15 HQ before the feed was abruptly cut off. Their body was never found.
"I mean, I know us prospectors aren't the most creative bunch but this name just makes sense. It lives in lava and it hunts literally anything that moves. And the sound it makes? I've still been getting nightmares from it months later..."
