Skith

Origin: Mid-western coast of Miltourne

Progenitor: Natural Evolution

Capital/first settlement: N/A (beasts)

Natural lifespan: 10-18 years

Traits:

Abyssmal creature of the Deep; ''The Skith are abyssmal and feral aquatic semi-arthropods of the deep, an evolutionary branch taken somewhere in the primordial formation of the world not reflected anywhere else in the varieties of life known or unknown. They range from the great deeps of the world, having been drawn to the surface by some accident or happenstance. The Skith are terror-inducing the behold when compared to those creatures of the surface, and ravenous to a fault.''

High-pressure organism ; ''Because of their high-pressure domain, those skith who spend long periods of time closer to the surface, or who indeed breed on or near the surface in lower pressures experience a gradual sort of gigantism, ballooning and growing in size as they feed and moult their carapace and rubbery tail-skin. The sea-baring skith who comes from the deeps may only be 2-8 inches long, not very scary alone but potentially fatal in swarms. The skith who is born to or spends much of their short lives near the surface may indeed balloon after several moulting's to over 40 inches in length, large enough to shred an arm in seconds by itself.''

clutchspawning; ''Whether as a byproduct of their dangerous and predator-filled native environment in the deeps, or because the surface favours their spawns' survival over said dangerous deeps, the Skith reproduce in clutches by the hundred, each which hatches and is mobile within weeks of the clutch being spawned. Such a clutch, containing hundreds, might begin to devour the native livestocks of an entire village as they grow and moult, becoming not just a menace but a threat to the native settlement itself.''
