[edit] Togots

These creatures live in the caves of Ebarkhara, home planet of the Arackrabee.

These red creatures resemble a mixture between the starfishes and the octopuses. Incapable to fly, they are gifts in excessively surrounding ones of the caves. The main characteristic of this group is the innumerable tentacles and its main strategy of hunting, the tongue, that assumed different forms in accordance with the environment. All the Togots descend of the giant aquatic Loffxis, that possess a curious form of reproduction.

[edit] Loffxis

Loffxis

Size : Giant
Environment : Water
Locomotion : Crawling
Diet : Carnivorous

This enormous creature lives in the deep of the rivers and it feeds mainly of insects. It fixes its six tentacles in the ground and forms a firm base for the sustentation of its body. Its mouth is come back toward the surface, for where it projects its tongue. This tongue resembles a small insect and becomes a attractive one for bigger flying predators, as the Gobers and the Ebass. When the victim approaches to the water it projects its great mouth for the water surface and swallows the prey, being this a food source per diverse days, until the Loffxis digests it total. In the inferior part of its body, around its tentacles, are innumerable ocelli, which form a composition of the image of the surface. Although a little distorted, the image assists the creature at the moment of the food capture. How much to the reproduction, a curious event at the moment of the birth of the position of eggs occurs: these are launched with force by the mouth to the external environment. The majority of them falls in the water, but some can adhere in the ceiling of the cave or still to fall in the ground, where generally they die after some time.

[edit] Etodlaf

Etodlaf

Ancestor : Loffxis
Size : Medium
Environment : Wall
Locomotion : Crawling / Sessile
Diet : Carnivorous

When some eggs were born in the ceiling of the caves many of the creatures died, but some were adapted and there they had originated a new specie, the Etodlaf. This creature is imprisoned in the inferior part of the columns of rock by means of its long tentacles and, as the Togots, it uses the tongue to hunt. Due to the dark environment, this creature became blind. Its tongue became very long and developed diverse bioluminescentes nodules covered by a resinous layer. These nodules attract its preys, the flying creatures of the caves. When the insects put on the nodules they are adhered. When the nodules total are covered by insects the Etodlaf collect its tongue and pass to feed of its preys. These creatures only can move themselves when they are young, where if they drag until a point where they will go to fix for all the life.

[edit] Kabegot

Kabegot

Ancestor : Loffxis
Size : Medium
Environment : Wall / Ground
Locomotion : Walking
Diet : Carnivorous

The Kabegot originated from the Loffxis adaptation for the land. So that it could put into motion itself, it gradually increased the number of tentacles until it could walk freely. The Kabegot developed a rigid structure around its mouth, forming a shell. Two of the originated tentacles had been changedded into antennas and the old ocelli of the Loffxis had been changedded into eyes, 14 in the total, with colors that vary between the green and the blue. Excluding its shell, all its body is soft and can easily be adhered to the surfaces, allowing that the Kabegot walks for all the environment of the cave, with exception of the water. Its tongue attracts the prey through one smells fort that it exhales. When the victim comes close itself, its eyes perceive it and it grasp the victim with its tongue and swallow it. Its dark body also allows that it remains camouflaged in the environment.
