Jiruth

The Jiruth is a Late comer to the Gomphiobia Group, very violent and often an aggressor it rarely ever sees a day without a fight. It dwells in moist areas such as marshlands and areas of heavy rainfall. It lays its eggs in any water either brackish or fresh. Out of a clutch of 30 eggs only 6 will survive their early life, only 2 of those will make it too adulthood. As soon as they're born they will go into a frenzy and eat their fellow hatchlingsbnot stopping until their stomachs are full. Then they will flee from the nest in search of a small den. The Jiruth babies (Jibs) immediately know how too hunt and search for a quick victim as often as possible. Being 20 cm tall at birth they must stalk their prey and be smart about what they attack. Since they are so young controlling the output of the venom secreted from their tentacles is a troublesome task and often not done so, their prey is immediately incapacitated by the action. The only way too regain the venom is by consuming decaying flesh. The Jibs are very easy prey for its older relatives for they are opportunistic creatures, cannibalism isn't above them. After this very treacherous time they will have grown roughly 7 times their original size, when this occurs they will set out in search of a mate, this may take many years but when they find each other they are mated for life. One special tentacle is located on their back right above the shoulder joint, this one is used for breeding, the males secrete out a purple fild of sorts that will cover the females eggs, this film is millions of tiny sperm that all try too enter the egg first. The Jiruths body is sensitive too vibrations and is capable of telling what creature is nearby simply by "feeling" the vibrations they emit, however it does have very rudimentary eyes that can only detect dark and light. Its spines and patterns that decorate its body are used for intimidation and for mating displays, for both functions the lines and plates on its body will glow a soft pinkish/purple.

Extra Notes
-The Head has reverberating properties due to its hollow structure, when it exhales aggressively it emits a "roar like" sound that can be compared too Bhudist throat singing. The tone can change indicating different moods, when sound is displayed in the presence of its eggs or a mate it will make a higher pitched chirping noise that sounds like rain hitting a metal rooftop. When used against an aggressor its "roar" is not dissimilar to thunder.

-The 3 tentacles on top of its body only emerge when the Jiruth must intimidate something. The webbing will flash a bright blue when threatened and is completely retractable.

-It spends it's time high up in the tree tops listening and feeling for prey, when it detects something of interest it will silently drop down and rush the victim. As it attacks it will mount the creature and open its Bilatteral jaws so it may clamo down on the individual. After which it will puncture the creature with its tentacles in quick succession and flee the area into the high tree tops, waiting for the beast too fall down from exhaustion, blood loss, and the venom working it's way through its body. After this the Jiruth will climb down and drag the beast over too its den when it can feast quietly. It must eat 40% of its body weight each day.

-On average they stand at about 152.4cm tall and 487.7 cm long. They weigh around 2,506 lbs when well fed.

-The spines on its elbows allow it to get a grip on its preys back, they also work as an attack mechanism if they are assaluted.
