Feral Fridays 2024 | Diamonds of Decay

In the dark of the night, feral souls skitter through the decaying undergrowth. Beware the diamonds you see glimmering in the brush, dear camper. You'll find not riches, but a dozen hungry maws.   They've kept their teeth sharp this summer...
(My shiny teeth and me, shiny teeth, shiny teeth!)
  Much like our brains after four weeks of worldbuilding prompts, the decay has seeped into our worlds during the Diamond wave, and all manner of withering subjects have made their way into our worldbuilding.   The worldbuilders came out in force with some incredible work for this final week of SummerCamp prompts! Thus I present them to you, for your feral chomping delight!
