    Concept: Mountain Idek


    The Mountain Idek lives high in the Wheltock Mountains where the vegetation is very low on proteins.To survive the Idek have adapted a strange habit of feeding on a highly toxic but also protein rich moth larvae. The Idek has an enlarged liver to neutralize the poison and will only get mildly sedated from the toxins where most other creatures would be fatally poisoned. Furthermore the poison is stored in its tissues and gives them an effective protection from natural predators, so actually the most common cause of death for the Idek is falling off the cliffs while being under the influence.

    Concept: Dustlung


    The Dustlung is a big floating creature that feeds on the dusty toxic clouds coming out of volcanoes. While their wings are small in comparison to its size, they don't need them often: this creature is filled with hot air and toxic gasses, enabling it to hover above the volcano without much effort.

    Concept: Forest Limrin

    Few creatures choose to venture anywhere near the forest Limrin--a creature that smells so foul that when it dies most scavengers will actually wait (sometimes for days) until the stench dissipates before feeding on the carcass. With no natural predators to worry about the Limrin spends most of its life on the forest floor, sleeping or else half-awake. It spends only a few hours a day lazily foraging for plant life, its main diet consisting of St. Elmo's berries, a potent sedative that is largely responsible for the Limrin's near constant state of placidity. The leaves and berries of the plant also help the Limrin to produce a particularly offensive odor, though it need not rely solely on the plant to accomplish a strong enough stench to keep other creatures away. Unfortunately, the creature is threatened with extinction as reproductive activity seems to slacken with each passing generation.

    Concept: Shroomfiend


    Also known as the Colibri-rat. These little fellows are extremely paranoid and hyperactive. Due to their main food source being poisonous mushrooms, they are under constant psychedelic influence which increases both their stress level and heart rate to a higher level than observed in any other known mammal. Their hearing is extraordinary and they take off at the slightest sign of danger. Sometimes it almost seems as if they developed a sixth sense, but it's more likely that half the dangers they see aren't really there in the first place.

    Concept: Purple Fungus Eater
    The Purple Fungus Eater is the only creature capable of digesting the lethal neurotoxins found in Purple Fungus. This does not come without cost - the toxins have an extreme sedative effect, as well as a tendency to cause paranoia. As the creature ages and the toxins build up, the hind legs become functionally paralyzed, and the creature is forced to slide itself along the forest floor using its front claws and sleigh-like lower shell. It also suffers from crippling paranoia that it will be eaten, despite the fact that it has no natural predators, and for most Purple Fungus Eaters the paranoia grows so intense over time that they end up dying from massive aneurysms.

    Concept: Weedhopper

    Weedhopper feeds on weed. The stomach is always full and cozy to sleep on. Jumping on food in the middle of the weed field isn't hard, so the weedhopper manages it even if full-time high though. Jumps usually end up as rolling, anyway.

    Concept: Sail-back Trog

    The Trog lives a very sedentary life, lying still for the majority of the day, warming it's body with the sail on its back. The creature uses its tentacles to fish for parasites lurking in the rock. When one takes the bait, it fuses with the appendage. The creature then proceeds to eat the parasite, gaining a high from its toxic venom.

    Concept: Purple Triton


    This amphibious-like creature, feeds on small poisonous frogs that live near ponds. When It ingests the poison, the creature feel greatly increase in its body temperature, and enters in a kind of trance state that can be noticed with the appearance of the red color in its eyes. With the emergence of these symptoms the triton then dives into the water to come out of it only when the symptoms stops and again it's time to eat.

    Flat-Tailed Frog-Sucker

    I think I may cleverly have missed the chance to participate, thanks to forgetting about time difference... ah well, will post them up anyway.


    ______________________

    Flat-Tailed Frog-Sucker

    These large, slow, amphibious creatures live in the rainforest where they lounge about enjoying the moist warm surroundings, protected from attack by the poisons they absorb from the local frogs. To gain this poison juveniles suck on frogs, which results in a rather extreme addiction to the side-effects. By the time they are adults, suckers contain enough poison to take down an elephant, and so the licking is merely recreational.
