the second extinction, neighborhood with these monsters, but be carried to many of yours. those who remained were small creatures, like coyotes, which had been relegated to niche scavengers.

measures around 3 meters long, and weighs about 250 kg. live in groups of 8, they are omnivores. the tentacle-like structures are the result of evolutionary adaptation, which, retained these manipulative appendages that developed in many shapes and sizes. in tetraphants, were developed as manipulators that allow them to feel, control, build...
