Chaurus Hunter (Dawnguard)

The Chaurus Hunter is a creature that appears in . They are the adult form of the Chaurus, an insect tamed by the Falmer. When a Chaurus reaches the end of its larval phase, it forms a chrysalis. Then, after a period of deathlike stillness, the Chaurus Hunter rips out of its former shell.
They are the strongest of their kind. The Chaurus Hunter Fledgling is a younger, weaker variant.
==Attack==
Like the Chaurus, the hunter uses its jaws and spits poison. It also thrusts at its foes with its tail to sting them.
==Description==
The Chaurus Hunter resembles a mantis with two spiked arms. They also have wings attached to the thorax, which allow them to fly quickly and nimbly. A chrysalis containing a Chaurus Hunter may be opened by attacking it with a weapon, shout, or by moving too close to it. They can be found in many places inhabited by Falmer and Chaurus, such as Blackreach.
==Loot==
*Chaurus Chitin
*Chaurus Eggs
*Chaurus Hunter Antennae
==Trivia==
*If the Dragonborn has a high enough Sneak skill, they may be able to see a crouched Chaurus Hunter within an open chrysalis and sneak past undetected.
*Chaurus Hunters and Chaurus Hunter Fledglings are immune to paralyze.
*Despite the fact that they have two antennae on their heads, only one can be collected.
*A unique finishing move is available when fighting a Chaurus Hunter, involving it falling to the ground wounded before the Dragonborn finishes it off with a heavy stomp.
==Bugs==
*The Bloodskal Blade from  may cause the Chaurus Hunter to emerge from its chrysalis without breaking the destructible shell. The shell can still be broken by any normal attack afterward.
**Sometimes the shells will already be open, with the Chaurus Hunters hovering over the broken shells (but not attacking). To fix this, simply attack them.
