Sinister Scuttlers

The Sinister Scuttler is the lowest of the low of the order of Devil. The vast majority of these ravenous and stupid creatures are minuscule, and tend to be hangers-on for larger devils apparently out of a desire to snatch up whatever scraps the larger being may discard or ignore. Some devils appear to tolerate the presence of Sinister Scuttlers. A Scuttler will eat anything it can gets its teeth around, from dirt, rocks, people, other Scuttlers, children's birthday presents, and so on. Their appetite appears to be bottomless, and no object is safe around these creatures and their razor-sharp teeth.

Habitat
Sinister Scuttlers lack the drive to live in any particular location, their sole driving instinct being to eat whatever they can get their teeth around. They can be found under most conditions, and seem to not be bothered by the weather. Much like rats, one will likely find Sinister Scuttlers hiding in dark places, and more often than not a house left abandoned too long will become a home to the creatures - leaving gnawed furniture and partially-consumed rat carcasses in their wake.

Biology
A Scuttler is a black-bodied sphere, with four spindly legs extending from its sides. The most jarring feature of the devil however, is a great maw that takes up most of the space of the sphere and is lined with razor-sharp teeth that can cleave through stone, if only the creature can get its’ teeth around it. Scuttlers appear capable of swallowing anything that they can render into bite-size chunks, though where it all goes is entirely unknown as they don’t seem to grow to match what they eat.

Sociology
Sinister Scuttlers are extraordinarily antisocial creatures. Their entire repertoire of communicative techniques is to growl and gnash their teeth. At its very core, it boils down to: Can they eat it, or can they follow it to get more things to eat? They have no qualms with taking bites out of other Scuttlers, but may also travel in swarms in attempts to clamber all over a creature that would otherwise fight back and take as many chunks as possible.

Trivia
Sinister Scuttlers appear to particularly enjoy the flavor of items that are imbued with magic..
