Chaurus

Chaurus are chitinous creatures primarily found in Blackreach. They are kept as some form of livestock by the Falmer.

Skills and Abilities[edit]

As elite enemies, Chaurus are immune to crowd control.

Ravage
A basic melee attack which deals low poison damage.
Reaching Snap
Longer range melee attack dealing low poison damage.
Acid Spit
A basic ranged attack, which deals minor poison damage.
Reap
The chaurus stings with its tail, dealing moderate-high physical damage, stunning for 2 seconds and applying "Reaping Brood". If you do not break free of this, Reaping Brood deals minor disease damage and spawns a Chaurus Egg nearby. This can be blocked to stagger the Chaurus instead while preventing the stun and so the egg from spawning.
Spine Spin
The chaurus spins around, dealing moderate poison damage around it as indicated by a circular AoE.
Undulating Charge
The Chaurus charges forward, dealing moderate poison damage and staggering targets in its wake.
Chaurus Venom
All chaurus' attacks have a chance of applying "Chaurus Venom" which deals low poison damage over time.
