Guide awaiting review

1

Locate and battle Scurrying Mawrat

Find Scurrying Mawrat in the Maw and engage it in battle. Avoid abandoning the fight if the pet uses Corpse Explosion, as it will immediately kill itself and end the encounter.

2

Weaken the pet strategically

Reduce the Scurrying Mawrat's health carefully. If it appears as the final pet in a multi-pet encounter, prioritize capturing it before engaging to avoid abilities like Haunt that can end the battle prematurely.

3

Capture with traps

Throw traps at the weakened Scurrying Mawrat to capture it. Multiple attempts may be necessary, as these pets can be difficult to secure.

Tips

  • Many Scurrying Mawrats possess the Corpse Explosion ability and will kill themselves nearly instantly; restart any encounter where this occurs to find one without it.

  • Avoid having Scurrying Mawrat as the third or final pet in a multi-pet battle, as abilities like Haunt can cause it to end the encounter before you capture it.
