A throwing scarab is a unique symbiont , in that it is almost as deadly without its host as with it. The throwing scarab looks like a beautiful piece of jewelry, covered with oil, until its wings flutter. A throwing scarab will attach itself to the outside of the hand of a willing or helpless host, where it looks to the casual observer to be a piece of decorative jewelry. Once attached, the throwing scarab can generate a crystalline carapace, that it can thrust at the enemies of the host. When flung at an enemy, it can slice through skin. Upon hitting, the carapace dissolves into an acidic residue, burning the target. Like most symbionts, the throwing scarab understands Undercommon , but can speak to its host telepathically once bonded. [1]
