[QUOTE="DMH, post: 2089512, member: 24945"] I was thinking of applying the arborial template to several creatures that don't make sense at first. Tell me how they turned out: Treepede (Ankheg)- these large insects live in the dense canopy of jungles. Attacking without fear, they hunt monkey troops, forest goblins and tasloi. Like grasshoppers, they have a nymph stage (looks like the adult) that are hatched in soil to feed on the roots. Those who know of the treepedes fear the time when the soil at the base of trees is torn up. Bloodysap (grey ooze)- These have have been altered slightly as they are transparent like tree sap. They normally feed on insects and other small animals found in the trees, but when they are nearing their time to reproduce (by fission), they attempt to drop down on a larger animal to provide the food and mass needed. Tree haunts (cloaker)- This is what causes some people to consider forests haunted. They dwell far up in the largest trees and use their moan to drive away those that attempt to cut the trees down. If the lumberjacks are few in number, the tree haunts have no problem using them as food. Orark (manticore)- Hunters from the trees, orarks prefer to hunt easy to kill animals like unarmored humans and deer. They stick to the sides of trees and attempt to make a kill with their spikes and then bring the bodies up into the branches to feed. [/QUOTE]
