Okay, good point-- shred power would probably take out about three little paramites at a time, but with their agility and speed and intelligence, they could easily dodge it. Plus, after the initial shred attack, the scrab would be vulnerable: the shred attack is their only truly effective strike, and it would take a few seconds to charge up again. In that time, a group of paramites could pick it clean.
I dunno, maybe I'm just biased towards small cute green things with high intelligence and arachnid qualities.

Never under estimate the small. Paramites surely would beat a scrab because its like Jack vs the Giant. And well the underdogs always can pull through. In one way or another a paramite will beat a scrab because it will play with it and the scrab won't understand its behavior makeing it rather cerious in it. Before you know it boom the paramite strikes and maybe its dead from the scrab but maybe the paramite lead the scrab into a trap where thousands of other paramites converge onto it. There are so many verables here with paramites. Now what about a fuzzle vs a scrab hehe One fuzzle vs a legion of scrabs. The Fuzzle is going to win because he is small and cute but deadly.

Small and cute and deadly is a cool way to attack.

It's a good thought, but I don't think it would work like that.

One paramite would be played with by scrabs, but not in a "keep the paramite alive" way.

As for leading the herd into a trap, the Alpha Scrab wouldn't stand for a new leader and would at least try to kill the paramite then and there... at least, if s/he hasn't already felt thretened by a new stranger in the group.
