They dig chunks out of the ground with their perfect talons then impale them and fling them like a ring on a stick. Easy pleasey [url]

The deadliest creature in PlaneShift is not an Ulbernaut or Maulberlord or similar, but Volki arguing any topic dead. ;D

Nothing really "wrong", just lacking a bit of details. Yet, it should be generic and vague, no specific values (individuals may vary, and balancing attempts may vary them again). Something that could be added may be their recently introduced attacks, in a less technical but rather graphic description (e.g. Arangmas may throw webs and bite venomously; Ulbernauts may throw rocks {not: cast rock spells}; ...)

LigH is right these are the kind of informations the wiki needs.

One last thing: Ulber actually cast magic whether this is an inherent magical ability of their species or they are actually casting in a similar way a spellcaster would is left to the knowledge seekers speculations and everyone of you is welcome to RP their own theories. Maybe one day the (in game) books about monsters will be expanded with more accurate details than they are today.

If anyone is interested in expanding the informations on the wiki I'm available providing first hand informations if needed. Of course raw statistics are out of the scope of this page but I see no problem indicating if a special monster is generically physically strong/weak/very strong, resistant to magic or something.

It's obvious, Eonwind. Ulbernauts, with their large, clumsy claws and oversized jaws, are unable to filter bones and rocks from their food. And given the muscularity of their bodies, one can assume they are genetically predisposed to develop super strength in all kinds of muscle, including those which control the bowel and rectum. When ulbernauts face a stronger opponent, they defecate in fear, and their muscles spasm, causing the fecal matter (loaded with undigested bone and rock) to spray. This usually occurs just as the ulbernauts have turned tail, explaining the precision of these sprays and the common misunderstanding that it is a spell of defense. And finally, those who claim ulbernauts throw rocks are simply denying an unfortunate, biological truth.
