User blog:ENG/The Maggot Lair reminds me of the Olthoi nests of Asheron's Call.

(Notice: I cannot wikilink anything in the blog title here. There ought to be nothing wrong with that. Someone could change the code so that this is therefore allowed.)

When I used to adventure in the lands of Dereth, there were a swarmy set of monsters called the Olthoi, who paralleled ants except that they were far bigger and far more vicious. Their lairs, sometimes called "Olthoi Horde Nests" very much paralleled the Maggot Lair in the Aranoch Desert. I think the Scarabs and the other life-sized fireflies parallel the Olthoi, and same for the life-sized maggots! I wonder if Auberean (the lands of Asheron) were also an influence in the formation of these creatures? --ENG 13:48, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
