Overview
Skull Tyrant
!Skull Tyrant, Rare, Enormous Skull Scuttler
""Rare, enormous Skull Scuttler. The Marrow's largest predator, and the most feared for its ferocious temperament. Though surely fierce, the skull it bears looks taken from an even larger [beast](/crests/beast). If not for the bones as proof, I would scarcely believe bugs could grow to such scale.""
