Taluku

Taluku was a hunting spider katanga who served the Mother of a Thousand Young as her bodyguard within the Fire Mountain of the Malatran Plateau in the late 14 century DR.
==Abilities==
Taluku was an experienced warrior. He preferred to fight in bipedal form while starting combat by throwing ranged weapons at the enemy.
==Possessions==
The katanga was armed with a large enchanted wooden shield and carried five halfspears into battle. Like other spider katanga, Morizuku could freely crawl across any surface, and his bite was a deadly venomous weapon.
==History==
In the late 14 century DR, the Wise Ones tribe became aware of the leader of evil spider katanga, the Mother of a Thousand Young, being ready to birth a thousand ravenous younglings. In preparation for the birthing, she initiated a ritual that sent deadly poisons into the rivers cascading off the Fire Mountain. Morizuku, along with Taluku, was tasked with guarding the venomous Mother at the center of her bones-riddled nest. Both katanga fought defensively when a band of heroes from the Living Jungles reached the Mother of a Thousand Young in an attempt to end the poisoning and the spawning.
Taluku's fate remained unknown; however, his death was almost unavoidable as he and Morizuku fought until their dying breath to defend the Mother.
