The Bon-Nuggroth An subterranean evolutionary adaptation of the Bon-Horroth, and the Udhorroth, and referred to by them as " the fallen ones". some rumors say that the Bon-nuggroth were made this way by experimentation by the Bhaktim, and that they act as one of their servants. description The Bon-Nuggroth have the general build of large bears. Their back has rust colored armadillo style plates. The frontal body coloration is an array of greens. The heads are broad and reptilian with horns that recall a buffalo with the primitive eyes of an octopus. The jaws are powerful and lined with multiple rows of broad flat teeth. Under the chin is a plated glottal sack that allows them to produced powerful sub-bass register cries. The sack will fill with a stomach acid that dissolves minerals rapidly. The hands are lined with big powerful claws that come together to former a sharpened scoop to remove the loose rocks that have been sprayed with the acid. The feet are broad and hooved. In the center is a fluid filled pad that will make contact with the earth when the creature is listening and stationary, to detect vibrations in the earth. They are highly sensative to magic, and repeated stimulations. both makes and females have egg incubating pouches in their lower abdomens. locomotion The movements and communication of the bon nuggroth are painfully slow, with prolonged hibernation cycles. diet They eat underground fungus, but do make trips to the upper world for berries that are particularly pleasing to incubating males. the Bon-Nuggroth eggs have thick shells, but have an opening of hard cartilage that functions like a snail's mouth mixed with an umbilical cord to provide a combination of egg laying, and more conventional maternity . The Bon-Nuggroth territory ranges the interior of the rim mountains, and an adapted sub-species has been causing sinkholes in the Shanariyya Commonwealth ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send mail to celandra-off@phoenyx.net.
