Warm to the touch but b... 2021-05-31 18:47:26 +0000 UTC View Post

As tiny as this colorful critter may be, it poses a potentially large threat to any unwary desert wanderer. Despite being a terrible flier, the vulture wurm still prefers to attack and apply its slow-acting, yet fatal poison from a safe distance. Once its victim is marked for death, the snake-like animal backs off and patiently waits for the right moment to attack.

Curious, feisty and full of spirit. Given its love for nature and its ferocity to defend it, a hornlet wildsoul may easily be called the shepherd of everything that crawls, creeps and hums its way through the tiny world beneath the feet of larger species.
