Source An aru lowder appears like a sand-colored scorpion the size of a housecat, glaring with a cyclopean red eye. Although they share a common ancestor as lowders, aru lowders have adapted to the drier and brighter climates of deserts and tundra. They’ve developed an uncanny, magical stinger that can fling magical flames over great distances. This, combined with their acute vision, make them naturally skilled at taking down prey from a safe distance. Source
