What's new in EMERALD SCARAB?

• The mutations table is now spread across three pages rather than two. This gives the text more room to breathe and allows for a bit more detail on some individual mutations. I don't like expanding content beyond a two-page spread if I don't have to, but this one was too much text. You'll now find it in the equipment section (p.37-39) rather than attached to the Cacogen Ancestry.
• There is one new mutation: 'Larynx Darts' to replace the repeated mutation 'Long Tongue', which was a copy of 'Frog Tongue'. Find it on p.38
• Vault Fauna - you now have d20 creatures and plants that can inhabit vault rooms. This is found on p.108.
• Settlement Encounters - a new encounter table for use when exploring settlements, if you like. A mixture of civilised creatures and monsters that might plausibly sneak in at night. p.130
• d100 Wilderness Lairs - a major missing piece of content is now complete. You can generate d100 monster lairs for stocking the overworld. p.155-156
• Treasure Caches - these allow for the generation of caches of valuable goods of various types, with which to populate graves, bandit lairs, occult sanctums, and more. Find them on p.205-206
• We finally have d100 Exotica, starting on p.197. This was a pretty major part of the current update, as it now completes the treasure generation rules. The Exotica are a really big part of world-building as well, so I'm happy to get them fully drafted at last. 
• Fine Art and Jewlery generators - you can now generate Vaarnish art objects and jewelry items. For example, you might find a melancholy video-collage depicting a mycomorph looking at the moon. Find them on p.210
