The Redback is an Icarus native, evolved for volcanic environments. While mostly docile it will defend itself when provoked. Displays a symbiotic relationship with local and introduced fauna. When injured it will retreat into its shell, calling on the help of nearby predatory wildlife. Believed to be a distant cousin of the Blueback.
