Caederus
Colossal Monstrosity
30’-50’ long, 6’ overgrown blind grub the color of soured milk covered in constantly moving “spiked feelers” that corkscrews its way through soil as easy as a shark through water. Hunts and tracks through seismic waves. Four chittering, parrot beaked blind tendrils erupt from its bone-crushing quad-beaked maw, like a sea urchin’s. These acid dripping horrors latch on to your flesh, giving it a little taste before reeling you in.
