Description[]
A volcanic variety of the Blueback.
Lore[]
The Redback is an Icarus native, evolved for volcanic environments. While mostly docile it will defend itself when provoked. Displays a symbiotic relationship with local and introduced fauna. When injured it will retreat into its shell, calling on the help of nearby predatory wildlife. Believed to be a distant cousin of the Blueback.
These creatures are well known for their distinctive calls, which are believed to be able to manipulate other creatures. This does include humans, as many prospectors have taken to defending Redbacks and keeping them as pets.
"Sure they look a bit weird at first but you get used to it, my girl Spot is just the cutest. The way she calls out for me and shakes her head with happiness, it just... makes me smile"
Skinning[]
Skinning a Redback carcass will produce resources, and requires an 
Bone Knife or better. A Redback cannot be transported to a 
Skinning Bench. Skinning with a 
Taxidermy Knife will produce a 
Redback Vestige that can be used to make a 
Redback Trophy.
