Dustfall Caravan Warning If the ground beneath your camp begins to tremble, do not wait to determine the cause. Burrowmaws travel beneath the Dustfall Barrens through vast networks of tunnels, using their plated heads and oversized claws to tear through compacted earth. Their armor absorbs the force of collapsing stone, making them remarkably difficult to injure while partially buried. Most Burrowmaws avoid surface travelers, but vibrations from wagon wheels, mining equipment, or tightly grouped footsteps can be mistaken for rival tunneling creatures. Once provoked, a Burrowmaw strikes from below and retreats underground before its target can respond. Caravan masters test suspected territory by placing a cup of water upon the ground. Small ripples are common. A cup that suddenly tips toward the earth is not. Leave the area immediately, and abandon anything too heavy to carry. The Burrowmaw has already begun digging beneath it.
