Lore:Chaurus
Chaurus are large hostile arthropods found in caves deep below the surface of Skyrim and in some cases on the surface. They possess highly poisonous saliva as well as a powerful bite.[1] Chaurus are bred and raised by the Falmer, later to be killed and have their chitin used for armor.[2] The Gray Host tamed Chaurus in their experiments in Blackreach, using them as guards.[3] Their meat is used in Nordic cuisine.[4]
Life Cycle[edit]
When a Chaurus reaches the end of its life, its body undergoes a dramatic transformation. After days of death-like stillness, the Chaurus Hunter bursts free from the husk of the Chaurus.[5]
