Description (Initial Observations): This brilliantly striped insect is 5m long, 2m wide, and 1.75 meters thick. It's bright yellow, two-meter long antennae are the only sensory organs it has.
Behavior & Society
- Reactions
- No known interactions
- Behavior
- It cannot be affected by gas, poison, sonics, etc. The quanakus can withdraw its legs and antennae into its shell and lower sections of its carapace into place, covering its extremities. When this is done, the insect increases its AC by 4. The quanakus can be trained to go into it's barricade" mode on command. The rider can then use it as hard cover, affecting his armor class as a shield (+1 AC). This long beast can carry up to four passengers and quite a lot of cargo at one time. It can travel over most terrain, including up formidable cliffs, and is too dumb to bolt. It can be found in most terrains and is quite dangerous in the wild.
