通称:古马陆
物种:古马陆目
时代:二叠世早期
食性:食腐动物
性情:攻击型
野生
这种生物存在的事实足以给我带来噩梦。正如岛上其他的节肢动物一般,古马陆有着令人难以想象的巨大体型。它是一种非常富有攻击性的掠食动物,不过更倾向于食用那些腐烂了一段时间的肉类,并非常贪婪地寻求这样的美味佳肴。 古马陆的血液拥有非常低的pH值,低到可以溶解很多材料。这种酸性的血液能泼溅给任何对其进行直接攻击的生物,这能降低武器耐久并直接对攻击者造成伤害。因此许多生物都不会尝试去捕食古马陆,毕竟害怕它这种独特的防御方式。不仅如此,古马陆还储存了少量的血液,会以吐唾沫的方式直接喷射到猎物身上。
家养
与岛上大多数节肢动物一样,古马陆头脑简单,因此相当容易驯化。它基本上就是一种完完全全的军事坐骑,大多被用来进行远距离攻击。得益于其独特的防御方式,无论是狩猎还是作战,除了那些超大型的生物外,古马陆都是相对安全的。
Common name: Arthropluera
Species: Arthropluera felsanguis
Time: Early Permian
Diet: Carrion Feeder
Temperament: Aggressive
Wild
The fact that this creature even exists is enough to give me nightmares. Like the Island's other arthropods, Arthropluera Felsanguis has become much larger than I might have believed possible. It's a very aggressive hunter but greatly prefers to eat meat after it has spoiled, so much so that it voraciously seeks out such delicacies. Arthropluera's blood has a very low pH, to the point that it can dissolve many materials. This acidic blood splashes back onto anything that directly attacks it, weakening the durability of melee weapons and hurting attackers. Many creatures thusly refuse to prey on Arthropluera, fearing this unique defense. If that wasn't enough, Arthropluera also keeps a small reservoir of blood ready to spit at its prey.
Domesticated
Like most of the Arthropods on the Island, Arthropluera is simple-minded and relatively easy to tame. It is an almost entirely military mount, useful mostly for attacking at a distance. Thanks to its unique defenses, whether hunting or warring, Arthropluera is generally safe from all but the largest of creatures.
