Scarab

A Scarab is a large insect that has small hind legs and two large front legs that it uses for attacks (see picture). They are generally found in the warmer areas of the game, the Maguuma Jungle and the Crystal Desert.

Scarabs will usually be burrowed beneath the earth and will appear as players approach them. They are fragile and cannot withstand much damage, but a large number of them can overwhelm a party member or two. They are often found in the company of other creatures and are presently only found as melee attackers.
