This section contains canon info from officially published sources |
Carrion crawlers are disgusting parasites and ambush predators that hide in the rotting corpses of the deceased until prey nears. Once a victim is nearby, the carrion stalker leaps out and attempts to grapple its foe with its entangling tendrils. If the carrion stalker can move its prey towards the corpse it formerly inhabited, a number of its larvae can infect its victim.[1]
Carrion stalkers resemble horseshoe crabs equipped with several jellyfish like tendrils.[1]
Carrion stalkers can be encountered in Avonleigh[2], Darkon[3], Falkovnia[4], Hazlan[5], Nosos[6], Richemulot[7]

We saw poor Eduardo, lying dead, his guts on display to the whole world. I tells ya, it's the worstest thing I'd ever did see. Those wolves et him up good. Of course, then the man's guts started to move, started to sniff like an animal. Then they moved. Twasn't a dead man we where looking at, but a beastie that looked like the viserca of our friend, chewing on his head.
I take no shame in admittin' to heaving my guts up that day.
-Tharod Ironflint, Darkonese adventurer.[8]
