Description
Vykathi are an infamous race of carnivorous insects. Their excavators are suited for burrowing and mining, spraying down a stone surface with a natural acid before tearing at it with their powerful front legs.
In Depth
Area Information
Vykathi excavators and builders are responsible for the ever changing maze that is The Hive. When a vykathi excavator transistions between two rooms via a wall (direction with no exit) it creates a new tunnel between them, thereby creating new corresponding exits in both rooms.
Departure Example:
Arrival Example:
When a vykathi excavator enters (A vykathi excavator lumbers into view.) or exits (A vykathi excavator lumbers <direction>) via a prexisiting tunnel (exit) nothing changes.
The vykathi builder is the opposite. Instead of creating tunnels (room exits), it seals them upon arrival through them.

APPRAISE CAREFUL info:

Special Attacks
NONE.
