>Deep in the crack, an Under Hunter wander in the depth. Its warp-inherited eye-spots trigger upon a distance cut of the moss' light. Too big for a Crawler.
>The Hunter clicks its fangs. Screeching teeth on each other, in a creak that a terran would verbalize as "IKE". The pack behind turns away from the danger.
>Further away, Depth crawlers are grazing on a fallen Fatty. The pack is eating well today - fangs killing the little scavenger, avoiding them crawling out of the Hunters.
In addition to the Warp-given boons, the <span class="mu-s">Under Hunter</span> evolved Fangs. This ensure the death of the Crawler falling as preys, and allowed the Under Hunters to communicate with basic signals.
The Under Hunter does not yet have the instinct to feed on, or hunt, other species, but this matter is only one behavioral step away.
All those changes secure the comfortable position of the Under Hunter - winner of the recent shuffle, your species' packs wins almost all confrontations.
Almost. The <span class="mu-s">Tripod's</span> reign is still unchallenged. Scissor Hunter size - that even increased recently, in addition to the bigger Brain stolen from the Tripod and the more efficient digestive tracks makes them the second most challenging foe; while the Meaty Fatty often miss ambushes at the low cost of one limb, as the assaulted hunter is noticed by its peers.
Last, one minor recent change happened : a leathery hide now coats the Under Hunter. Not doing anything on its own for now, it have potential to bear fur, scales, feathers or thicker leathery hide.
Issues :
- Predation from Tripods
- No pain sense to capitalize on removable limbs
- Too many limb loss to move (156 days)
- Sometimes losing confrontation with Scissor Hunter
- Rarely losing confrontations from Meaty Fatties
- Relatively low Vertical mobility
- Colon tear from hard parts, mainly mandibles
>How should the Under Hunter evolve?
