Description

Inspired by the butcher trees of Alien Planet.The Bru?uruminn is one of many ?static animals? populating the surface of N?nintaru, a planet where mobile life is an incredible rarity. Despite its arboreal appearance, the Bru?uruminn is actually an animal, and quite an adept predator at that. 8 feet tall, protruding from its head are two long, curved arms with pointed bone spikes at the end. When, using its sonar, it detects a nearby animal, it stabs forward with its daggers. Should it succeed, it will lift the carcass up to its mouth and devour it. Due to the dense atmosphere and low gravity of N?nintaru, the Bru?uruminn is capable of floating; it is tethered to the ground by several long tendrils, similar in appearance to roots. Once every three decades (Earth years), the Bru?uruminn will release their moorings and drift in a mass planktonic migration, usually about 4 feet above the ground; they are capable of regulating their height due to hydrogen gas produced in their stomach. The Bru?uruminn communicate with a hypersonic keening audible only to them. In this way, multiple individuals can convene and cooperate, occasionally forming entire deadly forests.
