Category:Carrion Crawler Race

Carrion Crawler Carrion crawlers scour putrid flesh from carcasses and gobble the slimy bones that remain. They aggressively attack any creature that trespasses on their territory or disturbs their feasting. A carrion crawler follows the scent of death to its food, but it prefers not to compete with other scavengers.

Carrion crawlers are driven entirely by instinct. They’re not capable of complex plans or thoughts and they can’t be tamed or bargained with. Simultaneously, carrion crawlers’ instinctive behaviors can often appear tactical or intelligent.

A large part of what sets carrion crawlers apart is how viscerally horrible they are. If they’re successfully ambushed, the PCs might not initially grasp what they’re fighting.
