But merkbees here are Marlo Biggins: completely different. They're a different creature Marlo Biggins: than the ones at Overvold Farm. They're very Marlo Biggins: strong and eat everything that comes in their way Marlo Biggins: except for other merkbees. HiiragiKagami: Even humans? Marlo Biggins: Not only humans, they also eat swords and armors Marlo Biggins: made of steel. NakanoAzusa: I heard merkbees living in the high plains have NakanoAzusa: highly acidic bodily fluid that they use to melt their NakanoAzusa: prey. Those merkbees must be from Mt. Hessian then.
