Editing Tregara


Tregara are underground dwelling predatory insects that are often used in stories by skavenslaves to scare whelps.

They resemble a huge mantis with long legs, an armoured thorax and a long abdoman, their head is angular with vicious mouthparts and glowing sapphire coloured eyes. Its front claws are large and powerful, hooked to grab and then allow it to tear its prey apart with its mandibles. Twice the weight of a fully grown skaven, they are well protected with thick chitin. It hunts its prey primarily by sensing movement.

Grey Seer Thanquol encountered one in the Maze of Merciless Penance but survived.

ADVERTISING

Some Dwarf Rangers use the sap from the organ that rapidly repairs the insects shell to coat crossbow bolts which enables them to more easily penetrate armour.

Locations
The greybeard Drumin Norgrimling of Karak Hirn believes that his home hold does not have a Skaven problem because of the large number of Tregara that dwell beneath it.

Quotes

Saw one’s mandibles cleave a Rat Ogre’s skull like it was a pastie.
