Armokin Indepth

The Armokin, is a carnivore which makes its home in mountain sides. Its unique ability to create fibrous web from its tail allows it to create its home within the caves. It shapes the web into geometric shapes and joins them together with longer strands, creating a new cave wall in place of the old rock. Once the Armokin grow in numbers, this cave dwelling is extended through the rock. They used their claws to break down the rock above the cave and create crystal like structures extruding through the surface. This cave dwelling is vital for the Armokin, as they use it to capture other animals which venture past, as well as using it to store meat they have already gathered.

The World of Critopia - Spore

Armokin

The Armokin is the top of the food chain. Its armor-like exobones protect it from all harm, while its large armored beak can tear through flesh like theres no tomorrow.

Doduck

Doducks arn't the brightest of animals, and it would seem god had a cruel fate when designing this bird. Basically... there is no Doduck like BBQ Doduck.

Eatopod

This meat eating plant feeds on any animal which ventures past. The flower of the Eatopod blooms every night, and with its massive teeth many are not fortunate enough to escape its stomach.
