[edit] Gwors

This group of creatures live in the Ebarkhara cave, the home planet of the Arackrabees.

These are the oldest creatures of the planet and the biggest group of the caves. They are worms of the most varied sizes and forms, adapted for all the environments found in the interior of the caves, since deep of the rivers until the ceiling of the caves, creating different strategies of hunting. All they descend of the very small Guaanie and present tentacles with globular extremities, a soft body, radial symmetry and a mouth with many teeth. Other strange evolutions also had occurred, which they had originated very curious creatures.

[edit] Guaanie

• Size: Very small
• Environment: Water
• Locomotion: Swimming
• Diet: Herbivorous

This is the oldest creature of the planet and is the only one whose diet is based solely in algae. They possess three eyes, one in each tentacle, very useful for the orientation in dark environments, therefore the Guaanies had established a symbiotic relation between some types of fluorescent bacterias, that clean its eyes and also serve as a form of orientation of the Guaanies, that they live in great groups. These creatures are easy targets of all the subaqueous predators and some insects, as the Mupsihs. Its body in rings allows that it excavates tunnels in the riverbed, where deposits its eggs. Although to have teeth, these only serve to help to filter the water that ingest and to separate only algae, a time that the rivers are rich in sediments.

[edit] Bewdog

• Ancestor: Guaanie
• Size: Big
• Environment: Cave Wall
• Locomotion: Crawling
• Diet: Carnivorous

This is the one of the extraordinariest creatures of all cave. This is an adaptation of the Guaanies for a very different environment of acid waters of the rivers. These had prolongated the body and had developed innumerable coats, grouped in small groups. Through this adaptation, the walls of the caves had been able to scale, to turn around in the stalactites and to remain hung. The Bewdog is blind, but its coats present a sensitivity to the vibrations very developed, being its main orientation for the hunting. To hunt, they approach the extremity of its long tentacles of its mouth, secreting its acid saliva, that originates a flexible and resistant substance. To follow, they move away the tentacles and a small web is formed. When the Bewdog perceives through its coats that something is come close, it launches the web and the victim remains adhered. The Bewdog closes the web forming a stock bag, that is collected. To the measure that the food is digested external by the saliva, the Bewdog passes the consume it, sucking all its interior. It is incapable to ingest harder parts, therefore he doesn't possess teeth as the others Gwors and, in this way, when he sucks its prey, it liberates the dry carcass to the soil, being this easy target for the Redireas and Ylfnixes.

[edit] Ocimesal

• Ancestor: Guaanie
• Size: Giant
• Environment: Water
• Locomotion: Crawling / Swimming
• Diet: Carnivorous

This is the larger of the creatures of all the planet, together with the Loffxis. This stranger evolution of the Guaanies generated a worm with five eyes capable to embed itself in the deep one of the rivers. With the aid of its tail, it digging a very deep hole, where it hides its body almost all, remaining displayed only the eyes, its tail and its enormous mouth. By presenting a very similar color to the one of deep of the rivers they they aren't seen easily. Its tail was developed from the first ring of the body of the Guaanies, while that the too much rings had modified its color and had developed a similar form to the one of a worm, that serves to attract its prey. This creature possess a good vision of the environment that encircles it. When an animal if approaches, the Ocimesal starts to agitate its tail, imitating the movement of a worm in the water. It approaches the extremity of the tail of its mouth and, when the victim is near, he swallows it. Although its the biggest predator of deep of the rivers it suffers with the inconvenient allergic reaction provoked by the Swapiders. In periods of drought, the Ocimesal was capable to pass some time in land and, in this way, it finished suffering two distinct evolutive ways.

[edit] Oogesk

• Ancestor: Ocimesal
• Size: Medium
• Environment: Cave Wall
• Locomotion: Crawling
• Diet: Carnivorous

This creature can be compared with a cnidarian. Its green and soft body is adhered to the walls of the cave. It developed a membrane around its tentacles, that are part of its strategy of hunting. As the Guaanie, the Oogesk presents luminous nodules in the extremity of its tentacles, that serve to attract the small insects stop close. When this occurs, it closes the tentacles and forms a stock bag of which the victim is incapable to escape. In contrast of the Bewdogs, them they consume all its prey. In virtue of its anatomy they generally don't put into motion themselves, but its tentacles can make this when using as feet.

[edit] Wyeorm

• Ancestor: Ocimesal
• Size: Big
• Environment: Ground
• Locomotion: Crawling
• Diet: Carnivorous

When some Ocimesals adapted themselves for the land had lost its tail, that was practically useless in this environment. On the other hand, they had developed innumerable other tentacles and, as well as the Oogesks, they had lost its eyes, in virtue of the blackout of the cave. Its soft and spherical body allows that it puts into motion itself through its tentacles that also assume the role of small legs. They are very slow and an easy target for the violent Redireas. They are great predators, attracting its victims by means of strong odor of rotten that she exhales of its mouth, that attracts diverse Ylfnixes, of which if feeds. In virtue of the strong odor, some Redireas also is attracted and, therefore, the Wyeorms searches environments higher, where neighboring feared its aren't capable to arrive. Everything what to fall in the mouth of a Wyeorm it will be eaten, not importing its size. With its many sticky tentacles they arrest the victims and these can say good bye to its old lives. Moreover, the Wyeorm is capable to regenerate its tentacles, in case that it loses some of them.
