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.
  • Commonly, Basarios are found to have some volcanic properties on their shell.
  • Occasionally, some Basarios are burnt badly by lava causing them to be charred black in color. This color is known to follow them for their whole life.
• Basarios are targeted by many poachers.
• HC Basarios are said to be special individuals.
  • Rarer individuals even are able to send rocks filled with poison gas around them as a trap against threats.
