Oculus

This article is about the Oculus. You may be looking for the Peeper.

The Oculus is a passive life form belonging to the fauna category. It can only be found in the Jelly Shroom Caves.

The Oculus is catchable and edible, raw, cooked or cured.

This specimen shares genetic similarities with the common peeper. The two species' evolutionary history must have diverged as the oculus developed specialized apparatus for navigating the jellyshroom cave system. Highly Developed Night-vision: Large, complex eyeballs provide this herbivore superior night-vision by comparison to its shallow-water cousin. While the shallows and the cave system are separated by just a few meters of rock, foodstuffs and threats in each biome are completely different. It is possible a small school of peepers was once cut off in the caves, and the oculus species is how they adapted. Assessment: Edible
