Scorpenida
Blessing for the creatures themselves, a curse for those who may encounter them in other lands.Anonymous Traveler The uninhabited areas still possess some more tangible dangers, such as the insects that adapted to the ever-present magic of Chaos and used it to grow to gigantic sizes. We know the most about them because they are impossible to miss. Brave explorers who ventured into these regions describe them as massive creatures with nearly chitinous torsos reaching up to 65 feet.

While the size and natural defense mechanisms of these creatures is stunning, they are not their main asset. Among all the creatures of Godless Lands, they are distinguished by something entirely different. An innate resistance to the addictive influence of the Souls Ash is both a curse and a blessing. Some believe that these creatures owe this trait to their gigantic abdomens, through which they breathe. Magicians who delved into the nature of these creatures claim that they serve as a filter. This ability allows them to travel to distant continents. Protection against addiction to the Souls Ash quickly caught the interest of many alchemists and magicians. However, those who have explored the secrets of taming these creatures know that the price of using them as a mount is very high…
