Creature:Muckdweller

Bewere the Mud!
The Muckwellers are one of the few terrors of Interglacia. They live in the warmer swamps at the equator of Interglacia. They have mouths designed to capture careless prey. They wait in the mud with their mouths just over the muck. When something steps in their mouth, it bites down, holding the prey until they bleed to death. They then slowly eat the creature.

The Solution
The Interglacians are told not to wander into the swamps. And if they do, stay out of the mud. And if they get stuck in the mud, keep a close eye on the mud. If their legs get caught in the Muckdwellers mouths, do not try to pull it out (that would make them bleed faster). Instead, try to pry the mouth open and pull your leg out.

Painless Death
When a Muckdweller grabs your leg, it injects a venom which keeps you blood from cloting and numbs the pain. Some creatures will not even feel the Muckdweller slowly eating it, and die a slow, painful death.
