Breaking apart the Feral Root Crawler into its constiuent mass, while Everett observes a live specimen and Acolyte licks a few pieces dejectedly, some information can be gleaned.
The same twisted germline that appears to have spawned the Woodsie Ones are also to blame for the overabundance of predacity that is these crawlers, ambush apex predators of this curious eco-system. They're lethal in close quarters, but luckily, cowardly and skittish and their long limbs are vulnerable to breaking. They do not possess the ferocious regenerative capacity of our biological subjects or the prowling Ripthings, though, in time, they can regrow themselves from available vegegative matter.
Being more instinct than mind, it would be possible to mislead them easily with Duplicity, something Everett gleans as he studies a distant prowler. Being more soil, dirt and strange twisted strands of living woodflesh or horrendous fleshwood, it might be possible to concoct some sort of targetted viral to infect them, as they share a kinship with each other.
If someone was particularly brave enough, there might even be NOVEL DEVELOPMENTS available in specimen captured and devoured, though it would struggle in the doing.
Meanwhile, given the information from PHARAOH and something CLEVER THOUGHTS from Sundae, you learn a little more about SANITATION.
