Despite their cumbersome appearance, they are capable of bursts of speed and have high traction on most surfaces due to their strong nails which constantly grow throughout their lives and are also constantly worn down. They are capable of swimming due to the lightness of their shell and ancestry, though this is not their true element and they only go into the water to hunt. Their coloration helps them to keep warm as well as making them harder to see while they hunt. A small sub-population is nocturnal, only going out at night to feed and sleeping in dens they find. |

This has led to them occasionally traveling with [[tripodian]]s, despite the fact that normally raised individuals would view them as prey instead of viewing them as a family pack. They will scavenge on meals with them and even protect them. While these individuals do poorer out in the wild due to lacking the skill their mothers would teach them, this unique partnership can in fact lead to them living longer lives, even if they are a bit more docile. |
