Rotbiters are particularly vicious worm-like creatures apparently native to Abaddon, that dwell in the vegetated canal regions in large numbers. Their bite is almost invariably fatal, inducing a fast-acting wasting disease in victims. Due to their large numbers and voracity, the lush canal regions of Abaddon have been largely left unutilized for many years. Rotbiters were only briefly found in any numbers on Sinai shortly after the "Boomer Incident" in Himar, when Elamoore was displaced by the Red Cliffs. Several Rotbiters were in a section of "canal" that came with the Red Cliffs, and spilled off into the surrounding forests, devastating the local population of Himarian Jupani, before eventually dying off. Rotbiters bear considerable structural similarity to gooshurms, wyrms and even shriken, and may somehow be related.
