Is a parahna cosidered a scavenger?

Answer 1

I would say that parahnas are not considered scavengers because they kill their prey with their sharp teeth and are other animals' natural predators. Scavengers are usually depicted as an animal that looks for left overs; things that are already dead or randomly lying around. Because the parahna is equipped to be a predator and rips the flesh from its prey, making an outright attempt to hunt and kill, it is definitely a predator rather than a scavenger.
