Prong Biter

	Diet: Carnivore (Predator) Danger Level: Medium Social Ability: Low

Information: The simpler stage of this creature appears to be the most commonly found, but their behavior is generally the same. As a predator, it will impale small prey on its horns and bleed them to death. From there, it seemingly juggles the body in order to suspend it from its horns for it to consume, similar to eating steak off of a fork in some respect. As the chunks of meat begin to get smaller and smaller, the creature will let the body drop to the ground and discard it for scavengers to fight over.

The larger, more evolved version of this creature exhibits this but with a more aggressive tone. If a kill is stolen from another, the two will often fight with each other in effort to impale and then run off with the meal. It’s rare for an opponent to make off with more than half of the prey’s body, and battles tend to last only half an hour at most.

Unique to the larger versions is the presence of venom in the bite. It’s unclear why they even have venom, as their horns are their primary weapon of choice. However, observations have shown any leftover meat from these creatures are not eaten by scavengers. The females will often pile their leftovers during child rearing, unlike the males who just throw then about. It is hypothesized that the venom is more of a defensive ability than an offensive one, if only for the females. Why males have equally potent venom is still unknown.
