Chompers

A type of small vicious abomination that hunts in large swarms, consuming all in their path.

Chompers

Tiny-Small - Bipedal - Abomination

Information

Being abominations, Chompers come in various shapes and sizes but they all generally share these features. They are small, less than 25 cm tall and weighing no more than 5 kg. Their body is almost entirely dedicated to their mouth. That mouth is highly muscular and filled with sharp teeth. They have no arms and short stubby legs.

They primarily hunt in swarms, surrounding and overwhelming their prey, each taking a bite until nothing is left.

They have hundreds of adaptations to different environments and food sources, ranging from changes in skin and fur to specialized teeth and sensory organs.

Behavior

Chompers travel in swarms of various sizes, preferring to hunt in locations with tall grass or thick undergrowth where their advance will be concealed. They move as a single unit all following subtle cues from each other to form a single fluid body. When they find prey, and everything is prey to Chompers, they move quickly to surround the creature(s) and clamber all over, each taking bites as fast as they can, until it either escapes or nothing is left. Few creatures can survive an encounter with a Chomper Swarm, usually if they have caught up to their prey it’s already too late.
