About
Heelstalkers are predatory by nature and hunt just about anything . They are similar to scorpions but with several differences. They have eight legs and are easily recognized due to their size and stature. They can grow up to 8 feet long and two feet tall. They have a pair of powerful grasping pincers which are used as their only method for attack, defence, and hunting for food.
Whilst scorpions on Earth have often large stingers and a narrow, segmented tail, the Anarkian Heelstalker has none. The history of the Heelstalker goes back to at least the 5th era of Anarkand. They mainly avoid bipedals or perceivably stronger inhabitants of the world around them, but if they are hungry enough, they will explore out of their comfort zone and exhibit a tendency to put themselves at risk to fulfil their natural desires.
Heelstalkers mainly live in deserts, forests, and other jungle areas, but have adapted to a wide range of environmental conditions, and can be found in most countries in eastern Anarkand. The greatest concentration of Heelstalkers is in Tyrrius.
