Scavenger Observations
I am currently doing a in-depth guide on the behavior of the many animals of rain world, I am currently on Scavengers. It would be quite helpfull if people would state any notable events or occurences or stories about scavengers that are of interest or out of the ordinary. Anything helps.

It is likely that you already know this, but if you give a scavenger a pearl they will drop everything they have and grab it.

Scavengers can point their spears to you as either a "hey lets kill this scrub" or "here have this spear, I don't mind it". When they hold their spears up in the throwing position it's "let's get ready to kill you..."

Ok so. They hate the overseers (blue, yellow and extremely rare green holographic worm things) and will throw explosives and spears at them.
Also, in some areas, like shaded citadel, they may not drop all items if you give them a pearl, such as a light that prevents them from getting eaten by coalescipedes (shadow spiders).
They are found in outskirts, industrial complex, garbage wastes, rarely in shoreline in the subregion looks to the moon, in chimney canopy, in sky islands, in farm arrays as well as subterrean.
They are not seen eating anything in the game. They like it if you give them spears and all kind of explosives (by dropping it near them), flashbang fruits, mushrooms and especially karma flowers, but sill less than pearls.
Each tribe has a leader that greatly influences the tribe. If the leader is agressive, the tribe will be that way too and will be harder to befriend. If you keep giving pearls to the same scavenger, he will usually slightly separate from his tribe and follow you around, and hibernate with you.
Also, when they point their spears at things, it's to make their tribe mates aware of it. Taking things from them always results in a very small reputation lowering (-2/-3 whereas giving them a pearl is +25 and a karma flower +8). They can also agitate their hand towards you to make you aware that they want something you are carrying. It could be light, weapons, and valuables, such as karma flowers and pearls.
That's it for a global overview, feel free to ask if you need specific info.

Where are the reports of Scavengers in Looks To The Moon? Is it in the files? :O
Scavengers also enjoy having Vulture masks, and appear to be slightly more friendly when you wear it.

Certain Scavs seem to have a mighty need to pet the slugcat. Some will rush over to you and make a petting motion?? Its different then the other hand gestures they make.

Here's a picture of scavengers in looks to the moon (From Aecx): https://images.discordapp.net/.eJwNx0sOwiAQANC7cADoDF97BxPjxuWEAKEkFBrAlfHu-nbvw96jsp0da11zFyKWGfqIfK4-fE48955r8leZPPRT-LV8OM7U1hR4A3AatLXW2Q2lNEICGmWUdqi0BolgxNOXRq8-aiRNgIQbWHKk_rH0uPOrZfb9AZDCKVw.4E-kJ5kGT_4q-SZrT_EjDoud_uU?width=400&height=225

And scavengers that make this 'petting' motion usually make the shaky motion for 'I want that' so it appears as petting

Well, scavengers must have a very short memory or they need no less than 25 rep. to let you past their settlements, those gibbies... I mean, I wasted a pearl on wrong scavengers, then took an explosive spear from them and the next cycle they didn't let me throught and loaded me with spears... that was really embarrasing...(I was at GW region, wanted to get to the shoreline) Also, if you hang out near the scavengers' outpost while not befriended, they will start to get angry and eventually stick you to the wall with spears... yea, I had a bit of naugty experience with them, but it's part of the game I guess.:steamsalty:

Well, they seems to eat roots or that is what I supose since I've seen some of them like scratching the ground and taking their hand to their mouths, also they do this only in grounds where you can se like it has grass or moss.

They also love Vultures' masks, but if you wear one when you aren't befriend most of them will hunt you. In value it seems to be between karma flowers and pearls.

They eyes also say too much, if they wae their hands with their eyes almost closed it's a warning, if they wave their hands with big eyes, thay want something that you have, also sometimes they just wave their hands when you have good reputation without changing their eyes size (maybe they just say hello), if they wave their hands and look to their partners it seem to be like "Hey! look that!".

If you hunt some predators with them or save them, they also will drop weapons near you when a predator is near, like "Hey! this little fluffy guy is good at this, take this, you will make better use of it", and then they run.

If you jump in their direction, near them and their eyes goes like crazy, going from small to big and vice versa to fast, be aware, you are scaring them or making them nervous, also some of them throw rocks an things like that when i do that for a while, it's not too much but they will stop helping you with predators.

One advice, when the cycle is ending, go to a saferoom away from them, it's a nightmare waking up with 5 or even 7 of them inside the saferoom with you.

If you kill like 3 or 4 of them in the same area, they will start hunting you in groups between 5 or 7, going arrownd the place you have been the last cycle

I found them in Outskirts near the Farms Arrays gate, in Industrial Complex near the gate to Shaded Citadel, in almost all Garbage Wastes, but they are more concentrated near Shoreline gate, in Shaded Citadel in the upper areas, they don't use to go too deep, in Chimney Cannopy in the lower areas, In Sky Islands, near Chimney Cannopy gate, I'm not sure if I have seen them in Drainage System, all arrownd in Subterranean, in Filtration System near the exit to Subterranean

Well, thats all I know, sorry for the long text

EDIT: Also they have some secret shops, in pipes that seems shutdown(?), you just need to try going in the pipes where they go maybe you discover some secret shops

EDIT 2: I noticed that scavengers with pupils are easy to scare, don't carry to much things usually nothing and sometimes only one spear

I usually take that like a "hello little guy".

This is a well known fact, but scavengers have these hidden 'stashes' of spears, sometimes pearls, and those round explosive things that they carry. You can often find them by giving one of them a pearl and seeing where they go. The stash entrences will *not* be marked by three bars or an arrow like other entrences are, and will look like one of those 'predator' entrences that lizards and other stuff use to travel.

I've also noticed that scavengers will take almost every resource (mushrooms, spears, and those red exploding plants) that they see lying around.

On a side note: be careful if a scavenger follows you into a hibernation spot, if you are carrying anything and fall asleep with the scavenger in the room, the scavenger will automatically pick it up when the next cycle starts. This can be especially troubling if you have a item that can't be replaced easily (an example being a vulture mask) as the scavenger will take it and you will hurt your freindship with them when you try to take it back.

as far as I know the scavenger put some of the explosion plants inside a
hollow blue friut and so they make the bombs

If you gave a pearl to a scavengers' camp every scavenger in the area will help you when in time of need (happened to me when a cicada was being annoying and the scavenger carefully aimed a stone at it to stun it.

EDIT : scavenger camps won't let you through unless you give them a pearl, gifting a karma flower won't work.

Cycle 48: i give a pearl to a group of scavengers, at the next cycle i woke up in my shelter with 2 of them as friends... they died by the tentacle thing (daddy long legs).
Cycle 52: i past the Scavenger Toll without any pearl, just moving slowly and let them push me around.
