Template:Class 2 Fauna The River Prowler is an in-development aggressive life form belonging to the fauna category.

Appearance

The River Prowler has a thin, elongated body with many protrusions coming from both the top and bottom, a spine-like structure is visible within. The head is fleshy pink in color, featuring two round, yellow eyes, a large maw with many visible sharp teeth, and four tendrils trailing behind its head.

The majority of the River Prowler's body, along with the organs, is transparent, emitting a faint white bioluminescent glow.

Behavior

The River Prowler will lash out its tendrils to when attacking, and then pull them back. It will use its tendrils to pull in the prey, and then proceed to mow it down using its large maw.

The River Prowler will let out ghastly hisses and snarls should anything get too close.
