Just what does sucrry down the corridors of Telehouse anyway? Now the
truth can be told.
600lb Rack: this ambush predator, a relative of the drop
bear, disguises itself as a natural feature until it can tip over onto
unsuspecting prey. Its extensive root system allows it to absorb
nutrients squeezed from its kill.
Blood Spider (debatable): while the creature has not been formally
catalogued, its webs most certainly have. Laid along linear surfaces
such as tree trunks, these very thin strands draw blood from the most
casual cotact, and it is presumed that the Spider subsists on this.
Crimp: this small and delicate beetle is the preferred prey of the
Ethersnake, and its primary defence is hiding. If you do spot one,
note the near-translucent body and the hard shell (some have been
known to exude a softer protective integument outside this shell).
Crimps are detritivores, though they have been known to burrow into
defunct plants for protection.
Ethersnake: these reptiles vary in length from half a metre to 15
or more, but rarely reach 1cm in diameter. Colouration is typically
grey, though isolated populations have developed camouflage and
unreliable reports suggest that some may be luminescent. They are
constrictors, and while their usual diet is mouse-sized or smaller
(particularly Crimps) they will attempt larger prey if it remains
immobile for long enough to be caught. Mating clusters of ethersnakes
may number fifty or more individuals and should on no account be
disturbed.
