> Beware the wrath of the Astaroth! Astaroth are large demonic brain like creatures mounted onto a set of mechanical legs with a deadly turret that rapidly fires [[items:devilstarcharge|small green stars]]. [[creatures:trite|Trites]] help maintain Astaroth and often have a nest within the mechanical legs, thus when an Astaroth dies, the nest spills open and the [[creatures:trite|Trites]] seek revenge!
