Instead of biting its prey, it stabs them with the points on its arms, which exude a fast-acting paralyzing venom. Coral Spiderfish are timid, and will flee if approached by anything larger than they are. If cornered, they will lash out with their arms, but will not use venom."

A sickly or starving Slimepillar will have thin armor, or no armor at all, and is an easy target for predators. Their gel-armor promises to be an excellent material for impact-resistant body armors."

They spend their time sleeping, naturally camouflaged as ordinary tree trunks or rock formations. When a fish or a large insect touches it, the Trunkate springs to life, grabs it, and takes a large bite from it. This is an automatic reflex, and Trunkates will bite anything they can grab. Trunkates ignore anything too small to grasp with their branches."

They would constantly hunt and kill anything that moved.\n\nPost-sentience, Fuzzy Moths are still apex predators, but show responsibility and restraint when it comes to their environment. They have suppressed their once-constant prey drive, and only hunt when hunger dictates.\n\nFuzzy Moths live in large communities, and build shelters out of leaves, moss, mud and rocks. Their territories are always enclosed by large wooden barricades, presumably to ward off larger predators.\n\nFuzzy Moths are not inherently hostile to outsiders, but lack any kind of experience with them. Their greeting consists of striking each other’s leaf-like whips with great force. Fuzzy Moths do not seem to realize that most outsiders are incapable of participating in this. Were it not for her suit, Lily would have sustained several grievous head injuries during her visit.\n\nFuzzy Moths have tamed and domesticated a variety of insect I have named “Sawhorses”. Sawhorses serve to perform any and all laborious tasks for the Fuzzy Moths, such as cutting timber and pulling heavy loads. They will also defend Fuzzy Moths from attackers, if required."

Their pulses are far more effective than any known spoken language. In just a few seconds, Fuzzy Moths can pulse a message that would take Common over a minute to speak."
