Skimmers are nocturnal large insectoids native to desert climates. They are tall four-legged beaked antlions with antennae and a fanged mouth. They're large and fierce carnivores who feed on corpses.
If one Skimmer spawns alone it will hunt without resting. However, Skimmers from nests and larger squads will conceal themselves under the ground to sleep from 6:00 to 23:00, only waking up before then if something walks too close. Once awoken (During the day) Skimmers will go back to sleep after wandering for around 140 in game minutes without entering combat.
Skimmers can spawn in Skimmer Nests and Small Skimmer Nests in Heng, Skimsands, and The Great Desert.
Bodyparts of adults have around 200-250 HP. Their attacks damage a single target.

Damage Calculations[]
These values are for when striking a target with 0% damage resistance. Usually, animals can have one of three qualities for their "weapon", but Skimmers are different. They have unknown quality weapons, so they only have 2 qualities. (Moving their position in a squad, saving and then reloading can change to another quality of the weapon) Their "weapon" provides them with 23 cut damage which is unaffected by stats.
Variant 1
Cut = 23 + 0.84006 (Martial Arts + Dexterity)
Blunt = Martial Arts (0.013) + Strength (0.039)
Variant 2
Cut = 23 + 0.85332(Martial Arts + Dexterity)
Blunt = Martial Arts (0.026) + Strength (0.078)
