weak when alone but strong in packs these insectile creatures attack using mainly melee attacks and only ue poison when the prey is out of reach. can climb most surfaces and burrown into most soils. very susceptable to cold

dark colored and has an exoskeleton covered in long spines. these creatures prefer to hide and attack using ambush atacks and doesnt like one on one combat. when in groups of more than three the attack plans change to all out melee attacks with little or no regard to personal injury. hunting plays a major role in their everyday activities, these animals require massive amounts of food and reproduce quickly. being carnivorous animals these creatures feed on animals main source of food but are not above attacking and eating anything alive.

this animal can be found mainly in forested areas and marshes where it nests in trees. when coerced into fighting on the side of evil using magical abilities these animals mass together and attack usuing numbers

Combat
when fighting in small numbers thses creatures go all out using venonous bites and slashing claws. worked into a frenzy of attacking they wont stop attacking anything that moves that doesnt smell like another beskala. the most common attack strategy is one lone beskala will stand behind the intended prey and hiss very loudly. when the prey turns other beskala burrowed into the ground burst forth and surround it. leaping onto the animal they bring it down and continue to shred it alive. when coerced into fighting onto the side of evil by magical means these animals move through an environent in a massive herd killing and eating everything alive except those marked for sefety.
