Chaurus (Skyrim)

The Chaurus is a hostile creature in.

Description
"The insectoid Chaurus often fight alongside their Falmer masters. Be sure to improve your resistance to poison with potions or enchantments when you face them. Minor treasure includes a tiny chance of: A few gold, a gem, or a ring."

Chaurus are venomous creatures that live side-by-side with the Falmer in underground caves and Dwemer ruins. These earwig-like creatures project a stream of poison that drains 3 points of health for 5 seconds. Using sharp pincers for melee attack, the Chaurus will repeatedly poison and slash its prey. In groups, the multiple poison attacks stack and can drain health quickly. It is wise for players of lower levels to avoid Chaurus, as they can kill fairly quickly.

There are two varieties of Chaurus: standard and Chaurus Reaper. In certain areas deep underground, Chaurus Reapers grow to be unusually large. These larger Chaurus Reapers are fast in movement but not very agile but still may be difficult to kill.

Loot
Pods in a Chaurus nest may be harvested for Chaurus Eggs, an ingredient used in Alchemy. A dead Chaurus may provide Chaurus Chitin, a material used to improve Falmer weapons and armor, and occasionally a few Chaurus Eggs.
