Native to deserts, desert stalkers are mutated ant lions capable of dragging creatures as large as young deathclaws to an early grave. They are solitary creatures, only migrating to mate, doing so with the first viable mate they find, before returning to their home. In the event of disjointed mating seasons, desert stalkers have been known to kill their own.
