While having no permanent appearance, the carrion is, in general, comprised primarily of biological material, including pulsating red flesh, eyes of variable color, and razor-sharp teeth. Regardless of its size, the carrion is covered in a large number of tentacles, which it uses more or less as limbs in the way that humans do, though to a notably larger degree. Otherwise, the carrion has no permanent form, credible to its unique ability to grow and shrink at an incredible rate by consuming or depositing biomass, respectively. The carrion's nature appears to be that of an animal: survive, primarily by consuming other biological matter. It is carnivorous, and while its diet encompasses animals large enough to sustain it. The carrion's ability to change size by consuming creatures is entirely unique to itself, and as such, how it does this is unknown. It's plausible that the carrion is made up of primarily muscle rather than flesh, considering the force required to move around with just tentacles. The carrion likely reproduces by it placing hives around crevices, which are capable of producing other entities of the carrion's kind. Its species is, at this time, undefined and unnamed. |
