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:

LOOK: Obvious exits: north, south.

A vykathi excavator tunnels a path east through the rock.

LOOK: Obvious exits: north, east, south.

Arrival Example:

LOOK: Obvious exits: north, south.

The rock wall west suddenly gives way and a vykathi excavator comes crawling through the new passage.

LOOK: Obvious exits: north, south, west.

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.

Skill Caps

Weapons do not move past dabbling at 170 (1/34). (10/19/2020)
Does not teach Tactics at 258 (0/34). (10/19/2020)

APPRAISE CAREFUL info:

With Defenses around 225 the vykathi excavator is a relatively easy opponent. It would train quite badly.
With Weapons at 170 (300+ Mastery) the vykathi excavator is a creature completely beneath your notice. It would train quite badly.

Special Attacks

NONE.

Special Defenses

Vykathi are immune to physical stuns.
APPRAISE CAREFUL info: The excavator appears immune to slicing.

Slice damage tends to do nothing more than scuff the vykathi's carapace.

Attributes

Strength - is rather less than 30
Agility - is rather less than 30
Discipline - is definitely less than 30
Reflex - is rather less than 30
Stamina - is definitely less than 30

Equipment/Loot

NONE.

Body Parts

ARRANGE INFO: The excavator cannot be skinned, so you can't arrange it either.

Messaging

Spawn: A vykathi excavator lumbers into view.
Entrance1: A vykathi excavator lumbers into view.
Entrance2: The rock wall <direction> suddenly gives way and a vykathi excavator comes crawling through the new passage.
Exit1: A vykathi excavator lumbers <direction>.
Exit2: A vykathi excavator tunnels a path <direction> through the rock.
Death1: A vykathi excavator twitches helplessly on the ground for a few moments before it lies still.
Decay: A vykathi excavator decays away.

Recall Knowledge

You recall everything noteworthy about a vykathi excavator... which is apparently nothing.
They are not known to cast any recognized spells.
They are not known to carry loot in locked boxes.

-When a [[Vykathi Builder]] arrives they will close off the route in which they arrived from, altering the room exits.  The [[Vykathi Excavator]] is the opposite - when they arrive they create a new room exit.
