Replacing their ancestors wherever their respective territories overlapped, the '''Blowtongue''' has begun to spread further inland upon the continent of Drake. Having evolved to specialize in hunting and capturing small prey, their tongues have further specialized to aid them in this task. They are capable of both expanding and contracting the end of the cuticle-covered tongue into a caved-in inversion that ends over a hollowed up hydrostatic muscle at the edge of the muscular appendage. Once a prey item is secured within this tongue-trap, it is then smashed and bashed about until it is reduced to little more than a fine, meaty pulp prime for consumption. |
