Art by Jonathan Wojcik The ghost of a long-dead predator. This patient predator takes full advantage of its ghostly nature as it lies in wait for prey, its "spring loading" jaws spread wide mere millimeters beneath the ground, behind a wall or just within any object large enough to conceal its bulk. When a creature treads within striking distance, the monster releases its tense jaw muscles and solidifies its teeth to clamp shut on the victim like a crushing vice. With the rest of its body still in its hiding place, the snappergeist becomes a virtually immovable trap, and if prey proves exceptionally bothersome, it can deliver several thousand volts of electricity through its luminous tongue. A snappergeist's hiding spot may appear slightly damp with residual slime, and a sensitive enough creature may detect subtle, moist puffs of "breath" coming from what otherwise resembles a solid surface. Less intelligent prey, meanwhile, is often lured directly to the monster's maw as its tongue flicks in and out of visibility.
