Congreeds

Congreeds are arachnid-like mammals that populate Arcerra. They mainly live in north Tsunia, but individuals can be found all across the continent.

Anatomy
Congreeds have a spherical, neckless body, any size between 30cm and 3m tall.

They walk on four, muscular limbs with opposable thumbs. The hip sockets face upwards, and thus their arms and legs developed three joints so they can still walk around normally. Congreeds look as if their bodies are hanging from the limbs like a deranged spider.

Several small, detachable organs rest inside the small holes that litter the body of a Congreed. These organs can be filled up with fluid to take the shape of rubber hose glove-shaped hands that can becomes as large as the Congreed's body itself. These limbs are presumably controlled by a type of Magic System unlike the Flow System; they float around the Congreed and be controlled up to a certain range.

Congreed teeth are large, sharp, and tough. They usually have four main canines that are about 0.3x the size if itself (A largest teeth of a 3m tall Congreed would be ~1m long) The jaw is able to fold in on itself, so as not to have the Congreed pierce its own head with its teeth and kill itself.

Despite a Congreed's jaw taking up about half of its main body, they have an incredibly small mouth. When angry or threatened it will bare its teeth, but doing this always ends up with the Congreed ripping its face apart.

Congreed cells lack demosomes. This means that Congreeds are incredibly tearable compared to most animals, as their cells lack the ability to adhere to each other as well; I'd say they have the consistency of fleshy, stringy, cotton candy. Luckily Congreeds possess great regenerative abilities and lack sensory nerves in the face.

Large, disgusting eyes that lay flat on the front of its face like dish-plates and stare directly through your damn soul. Pupils can take up the entire eye, or be as small as a pinhead.

Behavior
Normally, Congreeds do not move. At all. They kinda just sit there doing nothing besides catching and eating anything that comes near them with their several detached hands. If there's no food around it will just sit there and stare at the ground and mumble to itself, probably until it dies. This is called a Congreed's "Docile" state, when they are at their least dangerous.

This goes without saying that Congreeds are still hellspawn created from the remnant of a nightmare I had after watching double king and are extremely creepy.

Anyways

** Docile Congreeds are nearly exclusive found in caves or trees, never out in the open. Also, due to the fact that one can live it's enter life without moving, they are normally in clusters of four or five, all of which would be family.

They have displayed signs of incredible intelligence in certain research experiments. Congreeds possess about the same intelligence as a Human, but sadly, it rarely ever gets put to use. Beisdes when...

The Greed bit
All Congreeds eventually end up developing an unhealthy obsession over something, and will stop at nothing to achieve or attain it.

I dubbed this as a "Greed".

Congreeds that possess a Greed are nothing like ones in a Docile state. They will, I shit you not, literally travel to the ends of the earth to attain what they desire. They’ll try and get as much of what they want until they fucking die. it cannot be understated how dangerous this makes Congreeds. However, once a Congreed attains their Greed, which rarely ever happens, they kill themselves. Usually by ripping their body apart. I...I, literally cannot tell you why they do this. Weird.

Greeds that Congreeds can have include, but are not limited to:

Sticks: A Congreed once de-branched EVERY SINGLE TREE in the country it lived in and made a fortress out of them. It savagely attacked anything that threatened to take its possessions. Reports say that the wind blew a pile of them over. the Congreed retaliated by attacking anything that flew near its fortress. Eventually all the trees in the country died. It impaled itself on a stick shortly after. <<<<it had attained its greed and had no more reason to live.

Pain: The Congreed simply began to kidnap and torture people, revelling in their screams of agony and fear.

One day during its daily routine of kidnapping and inflicting pain onto the people it kidnapped, it fell from a height and hurt itself, breaking its leg. For a moment, it's leg possessed pain that the Congreed as a whole did not. So it attacked its leg in order to take that pain for itself; the pain spread to other areas of the body, which it also began to attack. Eventually, the Congreed beat itself to death. A lot of Congreed stories end like this

Trivia

 * The fluid Congreeds use to inflate their hands is not a bodily substance or an Element from the Flow System. This has led researchers to believe that Congreed possess a type of Magic that is totally unique to them. That is bad.
