newmonster   "Monster Scarab"
descr        "It is not known why the Monster Scarab rolls enormous piles of dung, but it is of no surprise that the Scourge Lord allies himself with this most vile of creatures. The Monster Scarab, when not employed by vile forces, moves along an indiscernible pattern rolling an ever-growing perfect sphere of dung before itself. Some lower creatures, like the goblins and their kind, believe that our world is a gigantic ball of dung rolled forward by an enormous Monster Scarab, and that the dung balls the ordinary Monster Scarabs roll are just smaller worlds with smaller creatures.^ That theory is of course nonsense, as was proven when Philomena the sage excavated such a ball and found nothing other than maggots, worms, and smaller insects. The notion that we are all maggots may be suitable for a lowly goblin, but it is of course an absurd notion when it comes to humans.^ A more scientifically sound theory is that the dung ball reflects the scarab's close affiliation to the element of earth and that by gathering dung and dirt in a ball, they create what is in essence the egg from which the next scarab is born.^ It has also been proposed that since they are one of the one hundred and three known abominations, they are hiding their appearance unto El behind that great ball."
