Penolaeth
Ranging from the size of pebbles to large boulders depending on the type of skull they inhabit, these black crab-like creatures roam the swamps eating decaying flesh from discarded carcasses. Most often found lurking around piles of bones to camouflage their 'shells', the penolaeth are typically docile until one of two things triggers them: 1) If their skull-shells are threatened they will attack with their 8 razor-sharp legs, capable of cutting off fingers or decapitating heads in larger penolaeths; or 2) If a more enticing skull comes along (even if it is attached to something still living), they will stop at nothing to try and claim it for themselves.
