Howling Sands – Zone 2 of Orbis

Howling Sands – Zone 2 of Orbis

Howling Sands (Zone 2) is the desert zone of Orbis: sand dunes, rocky canyons, savannas, oases and sandstone caves with magma beneath the surface. It’s home to the insect-like Scaraks and the desert-dwelling Ferans.

Passive & friendly mobs

Non-offensive or mostly peaceful mobs help make this desert feel alive:

• Ferans, a small desert tribe that the Scaraks once enslaved.
• Ambient animals like antelopes, horses, meerkats, vultures and possibly snakes and camels, which roam savannas and oases.

These mobs don’t usually attack unless provoked and give Howling Sands its “living desert” vibe.

Bosses & major threats

Howling Sands has some of the clearest boss-style enemies we know of:

• The Scarak hives, defended by warriors, tanks, locusts and workers.
• The Scarak Broodmother, a powerful hive leader that produces Scarak eggs.
• The Sand Empress, a major villain connected to the Scaraks, reached via a portal under the Sand Palace and widely considered a boss mob for Zone 2.
