	Born from the feverish imagination of Styg one stormy night, crawlers are nightmarish amalgams of arachnid bullshit. They are some of the most challenging (and fun) foes in the game, and require special tactics to defeat. Crawlers look like pony-sized black scorpions and in three varieties: crawlers, [[Death Stalker]]s and the boss-like [[Black Crawler (critter)\|Black Crawler]]. They feed on rathounds and humans.

−	Defeating crawlers depends heavily on your build, but some precautions will always help. Carrying [[Antidote]]s to cure crawler poison before it paralyzes you is essential when facing crawlers in a defensive battle, even if ~~you have~~ you have the [[Thick Skull]] feat. Please note that [[Death Stalker]] venom eliminates that option. A [[flare]] thrown at the ground will remove stealth from anyone caught in the halo so bring a dozen if you plan on fighting them.	+	Defeating crawlers depends heavily on your build, but some precautions will always help.

	One vital element to remember is that since crawlers will wait for their venom to take effect, it is often possible to run away from the map to fight another day.

 * Because they tend to strike from melee, they are very susceptible to Tasers.  Keep one handy to zap them and prevent them from running away.

 - Detection:
-*Characters with low [[Detection]] likely won't notice crawlers before they attack, but characters with high [[Initiative]] have a chance of getting the first turn if they bump into a crawler before it attacks. The [[Paranoia]] perk, high [[Perception]], motion tracking [[Goggle]]s and a serving of [[Stuffed Bat]] help.

 ** Flares and grenades or other area-of-effect attacks can be used to flush them out of stealth if you have a rough idea of their location.  Flares in particular are particularly economical for this purpose.
 * Characters with high [[Stealth]] and Detection have a fair chance of detecting crawlers first if moving carefully.
