Bin Raider

The Bin Raiders are a type of Hazard, class 4d/7a.

Location
Bin Raider specimens exist around the world. Project Vigilance has allowed them to remain at large due to their importance in waste disposal. Project Vigilance field personnel are to make sure they do not move into cleaner areas.

They appear to have originated in India.

Attributes
Bin Raiders are large crustaceans, around 2m long, resembling a flattened lobster. They have large front claws and can move rapidly when it is needed, even up walls.

Their most distinguishing traits, however, are their camouflage abilities. They can change colour and apparent texture to match urban scenery, doing this whenever they detect a possible danger such as a fox or human (and in recent years CCTV cameras), seeing through a series of photosensitive cells on their backs.

They consume garbage, able to break apart food and then consume it. They spray a clear fluid over plastic which breaks it down for ingestion, and this same fluid can cause eczema if targeted at humans.

Bin Raiders reproduce rapidly, a mating pair (which stay together for a year) producing six offspring. Specimens in the wild live for around three years.
