Scythers are often supported by centipedes. They may also raid the player’s base through a random raid-type event and can also be found in most poison ships and psychic ships. They can be found sealed in ancient ruins in all biomes, either spawned inside mountains or outside on the landscape. However, they are horrifyingly effective at melee, being the enemy with the highest melee DPS in game, surpassing that of the Thrumbo. They will always spawn equipped with the charge lance and will generally prefer to engage at range over melee. Scythers are sentient mechanoids that don’t need to eat, can’t be tamed or trained, and are always hostile to the colony.
