This creature is the form it takes after it eats an organism. The rest of its body grows from its waist and replaces what would be the head of the organism it ate. It will also be many times bigger. (Think of a centaur)
the upper body will also take on features from the organism such as its skin or eyes or anything that helped it survive.
if it eats any thing bipedal it will just take its form
they are extremely hard to kill.
