Cosmic Legions: OxKrewe: Book One, Thraxxon – Lowland Scapeback (Creature)

Description Scapebacks can be found across all of Thraxxon, with different variations of this species adapted to survive in the specific parts of the planet where they live. Native to the harsh valleys of Thraxxon, the lowland scapeback is the most aggressive classification of this race. Lowland scapebacks have heavy plates of armor and sharp spines across their body. This armor protects the scapeback while also allowing it to perfectly blend into the landscape of the planet as they hibernate to conserve energy, only emerging once they believe a potential meal is nearby. The vibrations caused by explosives along the perimeter of the OxKrewe’s camp awaken a herd of lowland scapebacks. Enraged and ravenous, the scapebacks enter a feeding frenzy and attack the camp, easily breaking through the perimeter defenses which do nothing against the beasts’ armored hides. It is only the intervention of the Veeblian named UkHa, along with a party of Thraxxian scouts, that saves the OxKrewe from becoming the scapebacks’ next meal.
