Description: Vorids are nocturnal. Since they cannot swim very fast, these violent creatures use the stealth of the black waters at night to hunt. With perfect vision and a defensive shell that doubles as a sensory organ, which receives vibrations from the breathing and movements of other creatures, the Vorid locates its prey rather easily. Its primary attack consists of propelling itself forwards, punching into its victims with its tentacles before piercing into the body with its unique jaw while it is still alive. The Vorid prefers to consume with haste without any regards for detection after making its catch.
