Anchorhead

Diet: Carnivore
Danger Level: High (Predator, Pack x3)
Social Ability: Low
Information: Though technically a large insect, this crab-like creature is often seen buried in sandy beaches waiting for prey to wonder within striking distance. When push comes to shove, it will rely on pack members to help corner difficult prey. It has a venomous bite with a toxicity level that is off the charts! A single drop no bigger than that of the tip of a needle is believed to be enough to instantly kill an Earthling.

It’s main weakness is water. The chemical combination that makes it exoskeleton readily dissolves in salt and rain water. It’s unclear if fresh water will have the same effect as there is none found on its home planet. Burying itself in the sand is the only way to protect it from the elements, as it acts like a buffer by absorbing the water.
