Sabotect

A subtle but dangerous category of Beasts, Sabotects are usually quite small for Beasts and relatively harmless in small numbers, though dangerous in swarms. These creatures instead represent a serious threat if left to their own devices, as they possess an uncanny talent for the creation of traps, their primary hunting method.
Most Sabotects are arthropods or rodents in appearance, though others are not unheard of, if rare. They are usually only slightly larger than their natural counterparts, though often displaying unusual anatomy suited to crafting, digging, producing adhesives or building materials, and the like. Sabotects show an extraordinary capacity to build sophisticated, complex traps, rivaling even those made by the Races of Man. From simple pitfalls and collapsing floors and tunnels to dart, spike, spear, spinning blade, water, poison gas, crushing walls, and magic traps, baited or otherwise, these creatures are capable of producing them... with communities and even individuals able to produce a variety of different traps provided time, resources, and a suitable environment. These Beasts make use of whatever they can with terrifying ingenuity to produce the traps that serve as both their primary defense and hunting method.
Sabotects often take up residence in and around the lairs of other, larger Beasts, potentially resulting in accidental friendly fire. However, they have a tendency to warn other Beasts away from their contraptions with everything from scent markers to the remains of their meals to active flaggers from their collectives.
