Ahomauoi

Ahomauoi are a species of beasts made by Ohannakeloi in the late Age of Monsters. They are mostly independent but will follow either the five legendary beasts created by Ohannakeloi or any other being of sufficient command and presence. They can live in most environments which can support them, they require sources of water, however, they are adaptable to both fresh and saltwater. They are not limited by much else besides scarcity, only growing extremely large in areas of relative abundance on land or in coastal areas.
== Description ==
Ahomauoi (singular Ahomauoi) are a typically large species of semi-terrestrial crab. Maturity is usually reached at three years with an approximate diameter of half a meter, although they will continue to live and grow much beyond that. Ahomauoi can live for exceptionally long periods of time, in part because of their continuous growth. Around five years of age Ahomauoi will begin to shift from a detritivorous eating pattern to a more general omnivore, they are approximately one meter in diameter at that time and if foods allows, will continue to grow. In decent conditions reaching the size of a small bear by age ten. Their growing does tend to slow as they get larger however as long as they can continue to feed there is no point at which they would stop besides one reached of death.
Ahomauoi growth can be stunted by a lack of food however that usually results in the death of the Ahomauoi in question. Ahomauoi can be particularly territorial as they grow older, although they typically do not scare away creatures of significantly smaller size, preferring to attempt to eat them. Ahomauoi do not have inhibitions about eating other Ahomauoi as is reasonably common among animal species.
