Information: A large carnivorous insect whose forelimbs are sharp enough to cut down a fully grown tree in a single cut. It uses these fallen trees as a nest for its eggs. The maggots sharpen their jaws by chewing their way out of the tree. However, they ingest so much fiber that their dietary system ends up being continuously flushed until their adult stage. At this point, in order to avoid starvation and dehydration, the first thing an adult has to do is kill another animal and eat it whole.
Thankfully, their kills are not that far away. During their development stages, the parents will herd and corral small animals near the fallen tree by tricking them into believing their prey will be safe if they are near the tree. Once the young breaks out of the tree, the trap is fully realized.
