Tantruvar (Tengumen Evomunt) Shell Spewer |Belcher
The Tantruvar, are collectively specified by the scientific community as Tengumen Evomunt, or the shell spewers. They are one of many plant like animalia resembling life forms from their home world. These types of lifeforms are typically referred to as novis-plantae animalia. They somewhat resemble, arachnids in their general forms, deeming them to fall under novis-plantae animalia arachnida. They are a sapient species, that is commonly predatorial however is restricted mostly to a herbivorous diet by current standards.
Size and Appearance
The adult Tantruvar tends to range from 12 feet (12ft) at the shortest to eighteen feet (18ft) tall at the tallest on the average natural scale. An adult on average weights within 300 (Lbs) to 800 (Lbs). Tantruvars, naturally have a rotund appearance resembling that of an open vase with a bowl basin. Their natural body structure is rotund and despite muscular exercise anything less than severe starvation will maintain this round appearance. This body shape does particularly point to fat specifically, nor a lack of muscle.
The Tantruvar is anthropoid creature, and as mentioned previously it has the vague resemblance, of arachnids. Instead of eight limbs, Tantruvar have six limbs, all of which are prehensible. It appears to have two sets of arms and one set of legs, which have four digits. They have a set of extra mandibles externally reaching out from the side of the jaws which are useful for attack. The mouth itself is a mandible beak with the esophagus further in.
The tantruvar, has two sets of superposition compound eyes, usually ranging from dark browns to black in color. There are typically three different colors involved on the body of Tantruvar which vary depending on the origin and set of the specimen. The three different colors will be referred to as the primary, the secondary, and trinary the combinations of which vary according to specimen and reproduction source.
The primary color is that of the main body, which can range from anywhere from beiges, greens to even reds depending on conditions. The secondary color, is found on the on the underbelly, arms and tail. In particular the secondary color tends to be surrounded by the trinary color in a rim on the underbelly, but creates a large outer bad band around the trinary color on the four arms. The underbelly typically highlights the round and open vase form of the tantruvar. The secondary color typically ranges from beiges, browns, purpled, pinks, reds and even orange colors. Combined the trinary color and the secondary color extend back from the hand and partially through the bicep (typically half way). The trinary color is mentioned before, rims the underbelly and is prominent along the arms. On the back of the tantruvar is the spine design shape leading to the tail. The spine shape is made from the trinary color and has a pattern branching out from the spine in three spaced out rows, the branching shape may be rounded, spiked, veiny or so on. Its ‘tail’ which is an extended abdomen, often has a pattern symbol upon it though the nature of this changes from specimen to specimen, though the colors on the tail often involve the trinary color, it may use any combination of the colors involved to form a unique pattern.
Tantruvar, also have a few rare but not unheard-of traits among them. One of them is spots and blotches in which the body, especially the main body may be striped or spotted with the trinary color similar to a pitcher plant or freckles. They may also have the top of their head or back of it match a trinary or secondary color instead of the primary body color as the rest. It is only somewhat uncommon for the tantruvar’s ‘legs’ to match the patterns of their other arms. Lastly, is the pattern of a Tantruvar’s tail appearing on their abdomen which is treated similar to that of a birthmark.
Physical Traits & Characteristics
Novis-plantae animalia, cells look similar to animal cells in that they typically take a round appearance, though they more closely resemble plant cells beyond that. Tantruvars, do have a level of chloroplasts, however these are typically very small and ineffective in the cells. The chloroplasts and method of gaining nutrition, only starts functioning when the specimen is going through a period of starvation and allows them to survive an extended period, typically a month or more before the body enters a stage of autophagy and starts digesting other cells. The ‘muscles’ are made out of complex, plant like matter that is almost elastic in its makeup, and hugs tightly to the rest of the body.
Their circulatory system is made up of a series of hearts in an open circulatory system, these hearts work like small pumps to help distribute and push a nutrient fluid throughout the body, which is an alternative form of ‘blood’ from normal animals. There number of hearts is not specifically limited, as it has been known to range from 45 to 60 in various specimens and are spread throughout the body, including limbs. The blood, is mostly translucent with a green tinge to it.
The nervous system consists of the sensory brain, the seed brain, and the various ‘nerve’ endings spread throughout the body. The sensory brain, remains in the head where it can take input from external stimuli such as taste and sight. The seed brain, gets its name from the fact that it takes the appearance of a large seed in the abdominal region. The seed brain, is protected by an extremely hard outer shell, and is the main brain for processing other stimuli, emotion and its own sapience. The seed brain, is also wrapped up and surrounded by the varying organs and stomachs of the abdominal regions.
The digestive system contains the esophagus, the first stomach called the tengumenulum, the second herbamen, the third stomach the ligsnum which is in the tail and lastly the intestines. The esophagus is closely connected to the tengumenulum, and can work together when it comes to ingesting. The tengumenulum, is used to cocoon. The herbamen, is used for determining further digestion and for digesting basic plant like material but can also eject material into the intestines to be released out of the body. The ligsnum, is used for digesting, complex plant materials and can be used to digesting basic proteins.
The mandibles, including the beak like mandibles are made out of a similar hard material as the seed brain is encased in. The mandibles, are typically a way of determining the natural state of emotions of a Tantruvar, as part of its body language. The mandibles can cut through most if not all plant material, and can tear through standard muscle.
Tantruvar, are typically immune to most plant or fungi-based poisons and similar effects, both complex and simple. They have a small fire vulnerability, once a part of them is caught on fire it is quick to spread. Tantruvar, do have a light resistance to initial exposure in a thin protective rubbery layer over the skin that needs to be worn down by constant exposure before the protective layer gives way and the rest of the body rapidly ignites.
They tend to get sick or become more susceptible to disease in weather below 10 degrees Fahrenheit. They typically struggle with aquatic environments, tending to float on top of water and struggle to propel through large masses of it or into it.
Most of the internal organs take on varying shades of green. The circulatory system tends to appear orange or yellow in color. The seed brain’s shell is a brown, while the sensory brain and stem typically are beiges or light browns. Stomach acids, tend to take a similar color to the trinary color.
Abilities
Tantruvar’s, while capable of standing on two legs and walking, they struggle with running in such a stance. Instead, tantruvar’s can naturally run while on multiple sets of limbs. They tend to very fast on all six limbs, able to run 100 meters in under a second or less. They are also particularly adept climbers and jumpers. The speed and strength of their individual limbs comes from a quick twitch like muscle majority, in their body. The actual applied strength is average compared to the regular humanoid per limb.
Their physical body is particularly elastic and resistant to blunt force trauma. Their structure being more elastic helps to resist simple or spread out impact force. The mandibles, and seed brain shell are compact and durable in a different manner. The seed brain, is capable of surviving shots from a standard pistol at regular range and similar trauma.
Decapitation is not a good method of killing a Tantruvar, as only the sensory brain may be removed. The seed brain, still maintains the control of most of the body without the sensory brain. The Tantruvar remains sapient, and retains its personality if the sensory brain is destroyed. However, the creature is essentially blinded and cannot taste. However, it can still detect by touch and sound, though with a slower response time in the case of sound. The lack of a central heart and having open circulatory makes it increasingly difficult to kill the creature by targeted strikes intending to find a vital organ in the body. Dismemberment, however is dangerous for Tantruvar’s in comparison to other humanoid specimens, and results in rapid blood loss and critical conditions.
Tantruvar’s, breathe and can hear keenly through their skin. They breathe carbon dioxide instead and exhale oxygen like most novis-plantae animalia.
The Tanturvar,digestive system is meant for consuming other novis-plantae like creatures, rather than typical animals and muscle. It is better to understand the step, by step process of the digestive system. All steps of the digestive system are particularly elastic, and on average can handle subjects up to ten times the size of the Tanturvar, without complication. The esophagus works alongside with the first stomach, tengumenulum which have a similar job. The tengumenulum, is a strong, expansive structure that produces a cocooning material, that wraps around matter inside of it and can render sharp objects relatively harmless to the digestive system. The tengumenulum, can produce this cocooning material and force it up through the esophagus, and the esophagus can stretch forward through the mouth to spew and wrap food into a cocoon. The method of adjusting the esophagus, does take a level of physical strain.
Once food is cocooned it is sent to the herbamen. The herbamen, digests most plant and fungi material, and it also determines whether there is too much complex material to digest, before sending it to be ejected out through the intestines or to the third stomach, the ligsnum for further processing. The ligsnum, which is in the ‘tail’ abdomen, digests complex plant material and simple proteins and rarely partially digesting meat. The ligsnum, has been shown to digest completely alien & eldtrich matter that loosely resembles plants, along with slimes. The digestive system cannot handle most meats and proteins and will instead eject them out through the intestines.
Their sight is particularly, excellent allowing them to see roughly 4-6 miles clearly. Their sense of smell is below average, if not weak.
Diet & Habitat
The typical tantruvar diet consists of prey of the novis-plantae variety, they will also resort to eating other plant and fungal matter, and in desperate situations weak appearing prey. They really enjoy spicy foods and herbs. Their typical method of diet matches that of an ambush predator, quickly restraining a target soon afterward. They struggle digesting complex proteins found in meats, and such is typically ejected from their digestive system. Plant and fungal matter, of all sorts even those high in protein are digestible without question. Plant & Fungal matter (including that resembling animalia as seen from novis-plantae), which has been recorded as entirely alien or even eldritch in origin is digestible with the tantruvar without apparent negative effects such as illness, corruption, or poisoning.
.
Tantruvar come from the 4th dynamo world of Landbound, the world’s designated name is Selvago. In particular they can found in varying hilly and mountainous jungle regions throughout. They avoid cold regions and tend not to be found in aquatic or amphibious regions either.
Defects
*Growing strands of the cocoon like fibers on the outside of their skin like tiny hairs, which actually increases risks of different types of infection
*Born without a head, a large hole where the neck base would be with an extended and massive esophagus in its place
*A fifth eye in the vertical center of the other eyes
*Ligsnum is turned into a large nectary & pollener chamber wasting additional energy and making it harder to digest complex plant matter, the sap doesn’t have as much nutrients as gained from regular digestion
*Arms start secrete a sticky sap that makes it easier to grab onto an object and surfaces however make it inconvenient for use of tools or even regular interaction as anything will stick to them
