Entity No.. 24 - "Scavengers"

## **Entity No. 24: ¨The Scavengers¨**

Entity Number: 24

Habitat(s): Majority of Levels

### **Description:**

The Scavengers, aka ¨Hoarders¨ better known as just ¨Scavengers¨, are an entity in The Labyrinth that has a reputation for stealing the items of wanderers, collecting them, and putting them in a room, or some type of den, in a giant ¨loot pile¨.

### **Behaviors:**

The Scavengers are known to be aggressive and are known as one of the many menaces of The Labyrinth that are annoying and dangerous. Scavengers often steal items like backpacks, duffel bags, weapons, and other items from travelers when they are asleep.

The Scavengers put their findings in either a room or a den, in a large loot pile. Random items such as barrels, suitcases, tires, and numerous other seemingly random items have been found in loot piles created by Scavengers. The reasons why Scavengers like to collect things and put them in loot piles are unknown.

If Scavengers are not provoked, they will be docile, but attempting to touch or take any item in one of their loot piles will anger them, and will try to attack you, mostly knocking you out and stealing what was yours, or in rare cases, sometimes kill you. Scavengers will try to attack people if they touch or take anything from their loot piles, or if you prevent one from stealing what is yours.

If Scavengers are hungry, they will attack the nearest living thing and will use their sharp teeth and claws to immobilize their prey, but if one survives an attack and is far away from a Scavenger, it is advised to get medical help as soon as possible, or one may die of infection due to open cuts. A Scavenger´s teeth are sharp enough to the point there were some cases of survivors´ arms and legs being torn off.

Scavengers have also been witnessed hunting and consuming Rattle Skulls and Sark Crabs, which make up a large part of a Scavenger’s diet.

### **Biology:**

Scavengers appear to be tall humanoid creatures, ranging from 6 Feet and 1 Inch to 9 Feet and 4 Inches, or (185.42 CM to 284.48 CM). They have gray skin, with sometimes wrinkles being visible. They appear to be grossly malnourished, but despite their malnourished form, they can run up to speeds of up 29 Miles An Hour or (45.6 KM/H), but they are quite weak and should be somewhat easy to kill in combat, usually, firearms are recommended. Scavengers have glowing red eyes, and an extremely large mouth full of sharp, serrated teeth, which secrete foul-smelling saliva.

Scavengers have long bony hands, with sharp claws on their fingers. They have thin arms, legs, and torsos. So far, the heaviest captured specimen that had been tranquilized weighed 45 Pounds (20.4 KG). After examination of that specimen, the specimen was disposed of by being burned after further studies.
