Description

A beaked, armless cephalopod heavily infected with Proteavirus beta. It tracks prey by scent and magnetic sense, slices wounds open with its beak, and feeds via a rasping tongue. The virus compels it to spread infection to larger predators through spore clouds.

Behavior

Hunts by scent and magnetic perception. Actively spreads viral infection to other fauna via spore blasts.
