Description

Who said 9 Creatures always had to be scary?

------------------------------------------------------------------

This my friends and colleagues is a young Jade Wurm.

I'll give you a basic understanding of how this creature survives.

We'll start with the features!


First, the large eyes are not eyes at all! When light is poor, they emit ultraviolet-light, that the smaller purple eyes can pick up. The large eyes are also false eyes, allowing the creature's real and sensitive eyes to remain unharmed. These 'light eyes' can regenerate and heal remarkably well.

Those little antennae? I call them 'handtennae' because of how they have sensitive little finger-like feelers on the every end. These allow the creature to feel, a likely food source, allowing it to make sure the junk it eats is actually junk and not alive. Though this creature's hide is very tough, it cannot afford to swallow struggling prey. Its innards are remarkably delicate, and in doing such an act the creature would likely die.

The tail is an organ that allows it to synthesize different metal alloys by storing the metal and minerals it contains and absorbing what ever sort of light is present for energy.

The teeth are made up of a quarts-like rock, which while fairly strong and good for wearing down larger chunks of debris, they are also made up of common minerals, allowing them to be repaired, or even replaced by similar rocks.

That is all I have had time to study about its anatomy.

This creature is a recycler, much like an organic worm. It is very passive, and besides some moderate acids that its skin produces, it has no other defenses. The spines make easy swallowing difficult, but not impossible.

^_^! I agree, not all 9 creatures should be terrifying killing machines. Your creature is very cute, nice job.
