Description
The harpies are a nice surprise and all, but I came to these mountains for one reason and one reason only: EXCREMENT! Specifically, the excrement of bluefeather rocs that's then been eaten and digested by bugs. Scarab stomach juices enhance the explosive nitrogen content by tenfold! At least! Here, take this Chirpsnide Auto-Excre-Collector. Stomp on the scarabs crawling around the cave floor, and use the Collector to reap the rewards. Bring it back full and we can start the real fun: EXPLOSIONS!!
