Lokium

The Lokium species are very unique. One very noteworthy feature is the fact they are disguised as pocket knives of all things. This is most likely done to try to seem like a threat to their biggest predator, The Duck or Bingus the elite. They pretend that they are capable of slicing them like bananas, despite their true weakness. Lokiums are incredibly similar to pocket knives and are made of a strange tough black alloy-like substance, which has yet to be identified. When hunting, Lokiums use their blade-like appendages to slice open creatures as food, and chop them into small edible bits. The Duck is constantly on their backs, waiting for them to mess up so it can attack and stuff its mouth. They pretend they can slice him, which is enough to make the duck back off for the most part. Just like the duck, they have fire spitting abilities which can melt anything other than the duck. The fire is spit in a circular motion, as a safety precaution. It also will not fire at anything if it lacks a valid reason to do so. It can not shoot them upwards, as to avoid accidentally raining the flames onto themselves, which would promptly melt them. The lokium does its best to frighten its predators. Its blade-like mouth is incredibly effective at slicing, as the shape would suggest. Its been proven to have insane glass-cutting abilities, and is under consideration to tame them to harness this odd power. Lokiums are rare to find however, most likely due to not wanting the duck around. They have a advantage of being small, lightweight, and very hard to hunt. They are thought to possibly have relations with bigfoot and wolves, the exact specifics of these relations is unknown. They have been nicknamed "Knife-like Pocket knives" by the locals, most likely due to their strange shaping.

These species are usually nocturnal or crepuscular and only come out when the sun goes down. The male is a very aggressive, intimidating creature with a very large, powerful build, usually with sharp claws and big, sharp teeth. Their eyes are mostly black in color, with long, narrow slit-like pupils. They prefer to have their food in the open and are more social creatures than other Lokium species. They also have a very short lifespan, often only around 1-2 years. The females tend to look different than the males, although similar in basic features. Females are a little smaller and smaller still compared to males. Females are more of a nocturnal predator and prefer to come out to eat during the night hours. Like the males, females can have big, sharp claws and are known to use their jaws as weapons when defending themselves. They can also have one or more fangs on their mouth, giving them a very ferocious, intimidating look overall. While being the most deadly creature in the desert, the lokium has been around for a long time. It is most likely to have first appeared a very long time ago, when the duck and its species was much closer to a lizard. As the duck species became more human-like, the lokium was driven away, eventually to their current habitat. At some point in its history the lokium was domesticated and turned into weapons, much like their appearance. This also explains how they are able to speak a human-like language.
