Scaraba is a desert town in EarthBound. It is located in the Chommo region, and is just north of the Pyramid.

Ness and his friends arrive here after defeating the Kraken while traveling on a boat from Toto. The town features a hotel, shop, and dock. Areas of the town with darker sand count as part of the desert, and can result in sunstroke. According to the Hieroglyphs from the Scaraba Cultural Museum, the reigon was historically polytheistic. Scaraba was invaded roughly 1000 years ago, presumably by another member of Giygas' species. The Pyramid was constructed by the residents of Scaraba for protection, but they were easily defeated. The Sphinx is probably a representation of a guardian deity.
