Back in earlier times in Carapex, walls were often made out of hard clays and rocks, full of minerals and elements creatures need to compose a healthy balance. However, from years of natural erosion, mining, agriculture, and more, these buildings have long since been wiped out. Every so often, if you find one of these small hunts where ancient Isopups used to live, you mind find an ancient scarab beetle. They are called this not due to their age or their appearance, but because they only feed on the excess and broken down minerals of the walls of homes from hundreds of thousands of years ago. 

Due to Carapex being a widely diverse ecosystem compared to every other planet within Kaithara, odd things  have evolved from here. One of these things being Gigantic Normadic Crabs, also known as Norma Crabs. Norma crabs have long since roamed Carapex, and despite their lack of sentience, understand basic sense of trade, feelings, and other things much like a dolphin. Historically, Norma crabs let Isopup's ride on their back for long distances in exchange for adequate food. In some cases, Norma crabs have been seen to accept runes, and even things of high trade value. 

As these creatures die, one thing that stays behind are their claws- they litter Carapex's floor, and often shrivel up and turn into burnable matter for  the next fall. If collected and waxed soon enough, you may preserve its bright coloration and stability. They are quite a value size due to their size and rarity.

Carapex is home to many insects, including ones that molt. almost %60 of dead matter such as tree leaves, mosses, sticks, dirt, and more are actually comprised of degraded molts. Every year or so there is a burning of the ground matter through the winter, having the fire burn underneath the ground in a heated sort of blanket with the dead matter on top of it. By the spring, the ground will be properly aerated with nitrogen and other chemicals found in ash. This cycle is often repeated. It is said if you find an untouched molt before burning season, you'll be lucky for the next one.
