Troglodons are one of the jungles' deadliest hunters. Named after their troglodyte existence, troglodons spend most of their lives haunting the subterranean grottos that criss-cross the length of tropical continents, emerging only to hunt and feast on prey. These creatures are virtually blind, but hunt using senses other than sight. Swaying sinuously, the troglodon uses its quill-like whiskers to track motion, while its forked tongue tastes the air. Upon locating its target, the troglodon springs and bites, savaging its quarry with jaws full of hollow teeth able to pump forth noxious venom. The predator is known to spit this toxic bile, which helps the troglodon triangulate their victim's location, as the fluid makes a distinctive sizzling sound as it sears flesh. Jungle Predator. Possessing a rare bestial cunning, troglodons can plan ahead far enough to wait in ambush along jungle paths; lurking perfectly still in the undergrowth for unsuspecting prey to walk by. When an opportunity is ripe, the trogolodon will explode into savage action, relying on its speed and savagery to quickly subdue its target before dragging its corpse into the dark depths of the jungle. |
