Size: TBA
Planet of origin: TBA
Niche: Gerboa

Description: Consumes mainly Ore of any type, but eats creatures if no ore is nearby, even resorting to cannibalism to survive. They mainly stay underground to avoid the typhoons on their home planet, these caves usually have ore in them due to the spike like lifeforms inhabiting the tree niche. If the cave they inhabit no longer has ore they need, they will migrate on topside to another cave to avoid starvation. When they eat their food, they'll open their stomach mouth and put all ore they are currently holding into their stomach organ and close it, then they redirect all body heat to the stomach organ and proceed to melt the ore in the mouth, afterwards they swallow and spit up the remains back into storage organs for later use. During migrations, they usually use the ore remains to build temporary shelters for the "night". Sometimes they leave the cave to look for smaller typhoons to get water from them.
