Edge Beasts

The Edge Beast is a creature from Asharu Mythology, which is said to haunt settlements at, or near the world border. They are said to be the only beings (beside Ashuntash and Ankar) that have the ability to actually cross the grand barrier, making them one of the most dangerous critters the void can produce. However, the fact that they have never been seen anywhere further inland than 100 blocks indicates that leaving the eternal darkness for too long takes a considerabel physical toll on them.

Their exact apperance is a mystery, as the only surviving image of them was drawn by a 7 year old whose village was massacred by one, drawing a horde of Jhendlings with them. After decades of debate, scholars assume that they take on the apperance of two, 10-legged beetles melting together. Their rump is generally perceived as purpur with translucent skin exposing their internal organs and making a solid red core visibel. The red spere is thought to be a kind sensory organ, as well as serving a reproductive function, as it moves closer to the skin when the beast is agitated, or looking to produce offspring.

Their reproductive cycle is closely tied with their attack pattern.
