Description These creatures are odd and dangerous and so far are only identified by their stages, the Larvae and the Pupae.

The Larvae are usually in large groups and engorge on anything considerably edible. Larvae have sensitive eyes that almost make them cute, that is until their head splits open and an acid coated tongue comes whipping at your head. A second tongue is used for actual feeding while the other, as stated previously, is for more offensive use. A larva's tail glows to signal to others that food is near and that its up for a fight. Their entire life cycle is built upon getting fat, which leads to its second stage in its life, a Pupae.

The Pupae is a Larvae who is sufficiently bloated with fat and has begun its metamorphosis. The Pupae is blind and uses odd false legs to move around. Though at a certain point of walking it will just fall flat on its tummy and suckle on some rocks. When its in its stage of immobility, a biomass will grow from its skin and surround the near area. This biomass sucks nutrients from the ground to further assist in its metamorphosis.

For those who would like too YOU can draw what you think the adult form may look like based off these two "adorable" specimens.

Seeing as the artists comments speak of these creatures attacking humans, the following question comes to mind: how big are they?

Larvae are usually 9ft in length and pupae are 5ft tall and 6.5ft long.

Larvae are generally hostile towards any creature as they are almost always hungry. They'll pretty much eat whatever there acid can corrode and liquify.
