Void scavver

Void scavvers were the largest, smartest, and most dangerous of the scavvers&mdash;shark-like spaceborne monsters&mdash;known to inhabit wildspace.

Description
Void scavvers had jet black skin. Like other scavvers, they had a single large eye that glowed. With a body some in length, a void scavver could easily swallow a man. Its gullet contained a poison that could kill a human in three minutes.

Void scavvers had superb senses; even invisible creatures were easily detectable by them.

Behavior
Unlike other varieties of scavver, which were primarily scavengers, void scavvers were primarily carnivores. They would hunt the crew of ships, not just their scraps and waste. Doors and hatches were not enough to keep a void scavver away; the creatures were semi-intelligent and would ram open such portals.

In the wild, void scavvers lived in isolation. They would fight other scavvers away from their territory, and they instinctively knew not to eat brown scavvers, which were poisonous to eat.

History
The Probe, the hammership carrying Teldin Moore from Krynn to Toril with the Cloak of the First Pilot, was attacked by a void scavver, which killed a crewmember and triggered Teldin's first accidental use of the cloak's magical powers.

Rumors & Legends
Stories were told among spelljamming crews of void scavvers of gargantuan size that could bite through the hulls of spelljammers.
