Cornus
Basic Information
Genetics and Reproduction
After draining carcasses from their remaining energy, the Cornus are able to implant seedling eggs into the remains which later hatch into young.
Dietary Needs and Habits
Typical for a scavenger, the Cornus are mostly feasting on dying or freshly dead creatures. Using their special sense for dying beings, they travel through across the plains and through the forest until they find their target. Spectral hands which are protruding from their open ribcage then proceed to grab and lift the carcass and hold it while the Cornus feasts on any remaining lifeforce. Even though they can live up to a ten day from a single meal, there might be times where the Cornus needs to actively hunt to survive. Selecting already weak creatures they impale or trample their target to make sure they are not able to hurt them later during the feeding.
