Description
The vamster was the well-renowned professor's last discovery, but it certainly wasn't his first.
"Brain... Shark..." he faintly babbled while this more than peculiar aberration joyfully nibbled on his arm. Candle-Care couldn't care less—whether this was caused by the rapid loss of his cognitive capabilities or by the Brain Shark's somehow cuddly appearance remains unknown. In fact, the professor kept the creature for the time being, which might be linked to his habit of naming newly discovered species rather eccentrically.
Brain Food. Although the Brain Shark is highly intelligent, it rarely responds to nonviolent attempts at communication. It remains a relentless predator driven by instinct, particularly when hunting wounded prey.
