A scarab is a hovering vehicle for quickly traversing Nodd at any height. They resemble a trilobite with a glowing green underbelly.

Scarabs require some skill to use - both physically and in terms of magic use - but are imbued with a spell that helps the rider balance. The spell also assures the rider will remain on the vehicle until no longer desired, but this does not prevent collisions, which can easily be deadly at the speeds the scarab can attain.

The availability of scarabs in conjunction with Nodd’s atmosphere of constant intoxication means that scarab-related accidents stain the sides of many buildings.

Scarabs are a swift, if terrifying, means of travel; not needing to hold on just makes it worse

-|summary=A scarab is a chitinous, trilobyte-like creature that is enchanted in several ways and used for swift aerial travel. By expending gloam the scarab can fly at great speeds with a rider balanced upon its back. Given that balancing atop a scarab is difficult, especially at high speeds, most are enchanted to help keep the rider astride. Unfortunately this spell functionally prevents a rider from jumping off the scarab before impacting with the side of a building - a frequent occurrence due to their exceptional speed.
