How to survive

  1. Count them. A lone Scuttle watches you or flees; the danger is the pack it grows into.
  2. Don’t linger in open water while more of them gather. Keep moving to your next stop.
  3. Never carry a Biomass Egg past Scuttles. They attack whoever holds one, whatever the pack size.

Watch for

  • Scuttles hanging back and watching instead of fleeing.
  • The group getting bigger around you.
