Moving Moss

Moving Moss, commonly known as the Green Beast, is a carnivorous moss species that lives deep in the forests of Haven, mostly in Hearthstone Yuldai. It is not known whether it became animated due to evolution, magic, or divine power.
===Origin===
The legends tell of a saint that gave his body away to the spirits of the woods, to protect the forest from creatures that were brought into our world by Entropy. Moss covered his body, and became the first Green Beast.
===Description===
Moving Moss grows around bones and fallen branches, using them to lift themselves up, like a makeshift skeleton. They often mimic other creatures, like human, animals, or mixes of them, since they do not have one true form, except that of a pile of common moss. Moving Moss uses bones of their prey to further build their own skeleton, and can even use their eyes as their own.
Young Moving Moss hunts by laying dormant, pretending to be inconspicuous pile of moss, only to stab prey that steps on them with their branches and bones. They secrete digestive enzymes, that it releases onto their prey, and absorbs their liquified corpse's nutrients. 
Adult Moving Moss is capable of walking, and even running. Just like humans, it is a persistent hunter, being able to chase after their prey for hours, until the prey exhausts itself. Adult Moving Moss often shape a mouth, with which it stores their prey for later digestation.
===Reproduction===
Moving Moss reproduces asexually, by breaking away small parts of their body that grow over time and become new specimen, that are genetical clones of their parent, making it so all Moving Moss are identical to the original one.
