Now, for contestants of the scrab fights: add your story about how you found your scrab! Here is mine.
THE STORY OF COOL PARAMITE AND HIS SCRAB, PART ONE: THE JOURNY
As you know, I'm a paramite, and I grew up in the mudomo vaults. One day, I decided that I wanted to see more of the world. So, after two days of traveling, I reached the exit. And then I saw: NECRUM! I walked around there, and decided to go to the Mudanchee vaults. There where rumored to be "scrabs" there. And I saw a lot of them. One day, I was chased by a scrab. I saw a wall with plants on it and climbed it. Plants are just like webs!
I climbed up and up and up and up... untill I reached the top. There was a magnificent temple there, with scrab rockpaintings and scrab statues. The door was open. I walked in and saw a big, round chamber with a nest in the middle. In the nest was one egg. An egg that was as big as me! And then, a scrab came out...
It was big for a baby-scrab, and light gray. What kind of scrab could it be?
He tought I was his mother, and followed me when I tried to walk away. I explored the temple and discovered a portal. The scrab and me jumped trough it, and I was back in the Mudomo vaults...
