Description
These cavern dwelling hunters burrow their way through the underground caves, tunnels and chasms. Feeling for vibrations to target its pray. The red and brown hardened exterior scales, strong and sturdy for underground burrowing, they have fleshy grey underbellies that release a red somewhat translucent slime to help them slide there way through the dark caverns of time. Armed with menacing mandibles capable of chewing through the hard earth and stone around them, one on each side of the mouth and a smaller one on the bottom of the jaw to help grip its prey in place, behind of which there are hundreds of razor shape teeth that go all the way to the back of the throat. These blood sucking hunters are the thing of nightmares. These huge worms use a poisonous toxin to put its weary prey down to sleep and then begin to ravenously tear apart the creatures flesh and suck the creature of its blood. The carnivorous underbelly beasts tend to hunt in packs of 2 to 6 and overwhelm unsuspecting prey, biting down and tear through its preys flesh. A very dangerous beast that all under ground explorers should fear.
Nests of these beasts are intricate tunnels, 5 feet in diameter. Watch your step, they can feel your movements. Coming across a full nest of these creatures could be the last thing you ever do.
