Dwarven banshees and salt zombies are just a small sample of the undead that will seek to slay a traveler. Undead roam the salt flats as easily as any traveler. There are quite a few unliving things that may be encountered as well. Scorpions, Id fiends, Thri-Kreen, B'rohg, Kes'trekels, rock cacti, and hunting cacti are some of the living things that may be encountered on the salt flats. Most creature encounters are going to be from creatures passing through, or over, the salt flats. Insects are the most common creatures to run into that actually live there. Grass and some stout cacti grow here, but even those are very uncommon. Nearly nothing calls the salt flats home. Most creatures are only passing over the salt flats, looking to get off of them before the sun reaches its peak and the shining white salt raises to unbearable temperatures. Not nearly enough water to support a thriving ecosystem, salt flats are for the most part, devoid of life. Yet, even here, life finds a way to survive.Īlthough it is not common, some salt grasses and hardy cacti break through the dry crust of the salt. Any amount of water that pools quickly becomes salty and undrinkable. Here, more so than anywhere else on Athas, moisture is pulled from a traveler's mouth and skin. Salt Flats are nearly barren lands that become incredibly hot during the day. Huge expanses of salt encrusted ground as far as the eye and see.
