a necrosis scarab  

This guy has a really low spawn rate. I've had him spawn 7 times out of 25+ spawn cleans so over 75 scarabs which makes him a sub 10% spawn rate. I've seen him spawn in the place of all 3 sepsis scarabs. Never seen 2 up at the same time but with a ~9% spawn rate it is unlikely so it doesn't mean much.

Out of the 7 kills I got 3 canes and 3 JB vambraces and one short sword.The vambraces sell for 300+ PP as vendor trash in POK so that's pretty cool but they're lore. The short sword seems to be the rare drop.

They're a great sebilis starter camp. The first 2 scarabs pull as a duo (you only see one when you get there) and the last one is by himself. Decent exp from 51 to 55 as crap gear shaman with an apprentice merc. Coupled with the sebilis guardian and the frogs close to the exit building you can stay pretty busy. Got an adamantite bo stick and a runebranded girdle from the krups frogs and you get a lot of gems/spells that vendor well.

You can also camp out by the rampart/wall close to the beetles if you're ready to deal with a wandering froglok knight/shaman/wizard upon log in, which should be no problem if you can defeat the scarabs.

just ran through for fun and there were 2 up at the same time ( on the way to 4d of course)

Ok, some useful data. These ALWAYS drop some good loot, sometimes more than one item (had one drop 2 BD). They seem to agrro most on the lowest ac (hard to peel off my rogue). When breaking the Guard camp, whack the froggies first, then go after the bugs. There are 3 of em and they all will come when pulled, so you need to have a chanter or super-rooter to control adds. Lots of hps, not too many resists, hit for low hundreds soemtimes.

I bought 2 of these for 400pp!
