Details

The Tarraptor, colloquially known as a "Shellback", is a social pack hunter who prowls the undergrowth. Rarely, these creatures work in consort with their lesser brethren, though more often than not they are found working in groups of three. If the prey of their choosing is made aware of their presence, one draws the attention of the victim while the other two circle behind to catch them unawares. These creatures have a fondness for carrying off unsuspecting spellcasters in the night, the venom they carry ensuring the victim has no way of calling for help.
