Thornbacked Crawler

The Thornbacked Crawler is a small insect species that can be found roaming in the Dangerous Dunes and Forgotten Forests biomes. It can be recodnised from its bigger and long main body and six smaller legs. Its body is covered in thick and spiky exoskeleton that protect it from the harhs desert environment. It has four tentacle-like organs that it uses to feel and detect small organisms from the ground, which it will then drag into its small mouth. Thornbacked Crawler is a skittish AI that will flee from other creatures and players as it has no physical means to defend itself except its exoskeleton.

This AI is the most ideal food source for hatchlings and young dragons. Thronbacked Crawler spawns in three different sizes and is able to provide food for smaller dragon species of all ages, and are probably the most easiest prey to find in the game at the moment.

Thronbacked Crawler is the first custom AI that was introduced with the open-beta update with the Bulbous Spined Scrab.
