Hahaha.
This fairly unrememarkable rat has made one of the fiercest, cleverest shrogs go locally extinct.
It's interesting to see a frontal view with that particular configuration of eyes. It emphasizes that even mammal-esque Carpozoans are aliens.
Did you mean "Vermees"?
Seeing five flora I made, listed in a row, just emphasizes how many I've made for Raptor Volcanic specifically...and I plan to make 4-5 more.
This sure looks...marketable. It's a quirky, adorable, fuzzy, not-too-strange creature.

The fact it can regenerate its organs so fast leaves...interesting ideas for parasites and predators.

Hm, do any of the flora spread by this guy have any specialized pollinators or grazers? If they do, they could also be potentially spread by this little scrambler.

Do you have suggestions?

I love this feller's expression.

It's like it told the Twineshrog, "So, you have chosen death." right before wiping it out.

Well I do know the Robust Arid Ferine directly spread the Treedundi about when it evolved, which is why that species of Nodent is even around still as it got replaced in its original range later on by a descendant. As such, it could likely be spread about.

My best suggestion is to look up each individual species of flora your spread about and see if anything includes it within their diet and if they are specialized for only eating that flora.

I'm surprised the twineshrog didn't just tie them up for infinite food


From the base of the tail, how far up can you cut a piece of the torso off before it's too much and it dies?

Like if it lost the bottom quarter could it regrow that?

Like is it planaria level? Could you list binary fission as reproduction?

I don't think it could survive actually being cut in half. But it could live after some minor disemboweling.

Opinion: approved

"steals from shrog nests" Is more of a style than a diet. A frigatebird may consume fish by means of stealing it from other birds, but it's still a carnivore. I therefore recommend omitting that from the diet section.

I am not sure how "generalist ovivore" should be processed. Egyptian vultures eat bird eggs, but not turtle or snake eggs. Egg-eating snakessnakes (of the genus Dasypeltis) also seem to eat exclusively bird eggs, although the egg-eating snake E. westermanni seems to eat other kinds of eggs in addition to bird eggs.

I decided after a certain point that trying to list every single species whose eggs it eats is tedious with how many egg-laying species its range overlaps. I could clarify it eats eggs of specific descriptors.
