Docusopsis

Docusopsis is a typical docusopsid - or "beam face" - a race of beam-faced dinosauroid tentacleiosaurs that inhabit the Great Savannah of Zeeon on their home planet of Vuunega. They are unable to thrive in biomes which are not wide open areas due to their very wide, stalk-like extension that the major eyes reside on at the tips. Where this would normally cause a huge blind spot directly in the middle of the vision area, docusopsids as a whole have developed a row of several eyes that line the entire front of this structure. Oddly enough this makes them powerful hunters but luckily they are not as vicious as other, more powerful predators, and generally will only attack non-prey creatures if they feel threatened, such as when something gets near to their nests. Groups of 10-100 docusopsids gather together in nesting colonies, where they help to protect one another and their young. Sexual dimorphism exists in this species, with the males' stalks being at least twice as long as a females, for display purposes.

==Food Chain==
===Prey===
Typically, Docusopsises eat medium-sized creatures dotting the landscape of the Great Savannah, occasionally risking feeding upon larger rival predators such as the Slizzard. However, because they live in large colonies they are able to work together to take down even the largest of prey.

*Slizzard
===Predators===
Docusopsises are successful predators but in no way the area's apex predators. Like all other species in the area, they are predated upon.
