biology: ------------------------ OCLACERTA: Oclacerta is a large, carnivorous serpentine creature, that uses it's head tentacles and it's eyes to hypnotize prey. It uses the leg tentacles to climb around and move around. It has the camoflauge abilities like a cuttlefish, and is an ambush predator. They can spit acid. It hangs from large trees and waits for prey. When prey comes, it reveals itself, and uses hypnosis to lure the prey in closer, and then it strikes. It eats anything smaller than itself, which unfortunately means it is destroying ecosystems in Tarrun. At Tarrun, it is an invasive species, and got there when 10 babies were stowaways on a ship. Their hide is very expensive and valued at a high price due to the color-changing qualities, that can even work when the creature is dead. KARANTOR: Karantor is a large, lobster-like creature. It also has some shrimp-like qualities. It has large antennae that it can use to channel electricity and move it to it's claws for attacking. It generates electricity due to a certain organ, which can turn salt absorbed from the saltwater into electric energy. Electric energy is what allows them to properly survive; putting a Karantor out of saltwater for too long or in freshwater will greatly weaken it, and eventually kill it. It has lightning-fast reflexes due to the elecrtic energy, that they use to attack prey. They are quite deadly. LOJOVON: Lojovons are an odd creature. They can fly, but not in the way you may expect. They can inflate their bodies and float around, directing themselves using their webbing between their arms, wind currents and their tail. They inflate themselves, but while in this flying state they are in the verge of deflating and falling to their death. They are capable of spitting acid. They also have a very high metabolism so they have to eat a lot. GNARDOX: Glardox are medium sized theropod-like creatures in the class of Biting Drakes. Their teeth are serrated, used to cut through flesh like knives, which can easily cause a painful wound. They move their jaws in a slicing manner to cut prey. They often hunt prey larger then themselves in a pack, but will sometimes catch small prey as a snack. However, they are usually scavengers, scaring away creatures from a dead corpse to get prey. They live in packs of 3-5. There is 1 leader male. The leader male eats first as he has the highest metabolism. SKUTIL: Large flying creatures that mimic skeletons. They use this as a defense mechanism. They spit a powdery substance mixed with their own saliva that will blow up eventually, at enemies. It is made from a special organ that is powered by food. This special powder is sought out by hunters, and can be used to make bombs. Although it is more effective than gunpowder, it is quite hard to get. They are solitary, and compete with Gnardox. They have a large toe claw to pick up prey and stab them to death with it. A spade is also located on their tail, used for attacking.
