Not to be confused with Scarabs.

[FAQ] • [doc]

Scarab swarms are low levelled bug swarms that can poison, starting at 38 life points. Although their maximum hit is relatively low, they attack extremely fast (once every game tick, or 0.6 seconds) and the higher level version almost always causes damage, making them dangerous for lower levelled players. Because of the attack speed, the poison rate would be faster.

During Contact!, three swarms appear from the ground and unite to become a giant scarab. After it has been defeated, they split again and disappear.

They occasionally spawn when opening the golden chest in Pyramid Plunder; the frequency is reduced when the hard Desert Tasks have been completed.

Trivia

The scarab swarms in Pyramid Plunder were graphically updated on 5 June 2017. The other variants of the monster and scarabs still use the old model.
