Ink monsters are the only predators who ever had any slot in the food chain higher than the Introi. They are massive aracnoids with jet black skin, and many poison spitting glands. Their heads have thirty pupiless eyes "wrapping around it's head like some vile halo"(in the words of a frightend tourist upon seeing it for the first time). Their mouths are filled with peg like teeth made to mash, and are coated with poison. Despite their arachnid nature, Ink monsers hobble around on one leg (the better to blend in with tree trunks). In modern times they have been domesticated by the Introi as battle mounts.
