Husk Hermit
The Husk Hermit is a unique and eerie
creature that closely resembles a massive
crab. What sets it apart is its peculiar habit of
repurposing discarded armor and equipment of
fallen adventurers as makeshift shells.
Unique habits. When adventurers die at sea, their armor and
equipment are lost. And as they say, nothing can be wasted in
nature. Husk Hermits make their homes within the armors left
by unlucky adventurers. These creatures are typically found
along remote, rocky shorelines and cavernous coastal areas,
where the remnants of fallen adventurers are washed ashore.
Their scavenging behavior often brings them into contact
with humans and other coastal travelers. Husk Hermits are
usually not aggressive, but during mating season, they do tend
to be more territorial and see anyone who ventures too close
to their scavenging grounds as a potential threat.
Fighting style. In terms of combat, Husk Hermits are
surprisingly agile for their size. They use their massive claws to
great effect, both for defense and offense. When threatened or
provoked, they can clamp down with incredible force, easily
shattering bones and armor. Their preferred fighting style
involves ambushing unsuspecting prey that comes close to their
scavenged armor, not recognizing that it is not as empty as it
seems.
