— Steelclaw warning the party

Background

Steelclaw identifies herself as a dedicated predator of the Mind Flayer Tadpoles that infest Moonrise, and resents any intrusion onto her hunting grounds. If the dead tadpole she is tormenting is picked up, she will flee into the nearby Cat Hole.

Spoiler warning! This section reveals interactions with The Dark Urge

Steelclaw previously met The Dark Urge while they were at Moonrise Towers. If the Dark Urge tries to remember Steelclaw, they will go into a daze and kill her.

Notes

Steelclaw's hunting prowess is confirmed in ambient dialogue by the nearby hungry Winged Horrors:
- "Caat? Take flesh from caaat?"
- "NO! Not again - my flesh still stings from her claws!"
- "A great hunter. To be feeaared."
