About the Karcri Creature

During the day Karcris sleep beneath the waves of Ark Bay, blending in with the sand and rocks. At night the starlight within them begins to glow and the Karcris begin their dance. Scuttling to and fro, twinkling like the stars above, Karcris create beautiful shimmering patterns on the sand and in the shallows. At times the many Karcris will perfectly mimic the stars above, Karcris holding still for the space of a few breaths, but then the Karcris begin to move and the dance begins again.

It is incredibly easy to lose time watching ebb and flow of Karcris across the sands. If one isn't careful you can lose an entire night to watching the shifting lights of the Karcri, only coming back to yourself as the lights wink out and the sun begins to rise.
