Interesting Facts About Basarios

 * Basarios hides underground for camouflage. Hiding helps it hide from predators and allows it to ambush prey. Basarios are known to feed on Nepteron and other small prey.
 * Inside a Basarios’ stomach is a special bacteria that processes ore in the stomach, allowing Basarios to get nutrients from the ore. This bacteria also helps develop more powerful armor for the growing Basarios.
 * Sometimes eating ore just doesn’t give them the nutrients they need so they feed on live prey for proper nutrition occasionally.
 * Basarios are mostly found living in volcanic regions though can also be found living in swamps and forest areas.
