Carapace Demon

The creature was as large as a house, with its eight segmented legs resembling tall pillars. Its form was similar to that of scavengers and centurions, comprised of a crab-like carapace and a protruding, somewhat humanoid torso. Instead of chitin, the behemoth's shell was seemingly made out of polished, lustrous metal. The steel monster resembled a giant knight but it radiated a sinister aura. The polished armor of the creature was covered with long, jagged spikes. Its humanoid torso had four mighty arms, two ending with powerful pincers, the other two — with razor-sharp, terrifying scythes. The demon's head was more pronounced than that of a scavenger and crowned with several tall, sharp horns. Its metal face was almost human-like but simultaneously repulsively monstrous and bestial.^[1]

• It can command carapace centurions to get soul shards to offer to the Soul Tree in exchange for its fruit.^[5][1]
• This demon, unlike the scavengers and centurions, appears to be rather intelligent.^[6]

It was severely wounded by a sea creature before, with several of his legs missing and his scythes covered by a spiderweb of cracks. Eventually, it was able to recover from its wounds, the scythes restored themselves, and its legs grew back. The fracture on his chest was the last to heal. However, it wasn't healed completely. Hidden from sight, there's still a weakness in his armor.^[7]
