Molliesk

Molliesks are gooey hunters that prowl the floors of dark ponds and the land surrounding it. They are semiaquatic, and quite plentiful in the wild.

Biology and Behavior
Reproducing asexually every year, provided they have consumed enough Scalion, Molliesk dominate any pool they inhabit. Rarely do any Molliesk fly the nest and sludge along in search of new waters, provided they don't totally exhaust their food supply, which happens with great regularity. Because many Molliesk populations grow too large and hunt too often, they all become too underfed to grow into their evolved state, the Mollon. Without hydration, Molliesk will dry up, which happens over the course of 2 hours and becomes irreversible 21 minutes before death.

Hunting and Abilities
Molliesk use the spear tendril atop their head to skewer and absorb large fish in their vicinity. They rarely need to move to find fish to stab, due to the density of small ponds. Their sludgy bodies make for great defenses against physical damage, especially by slipping out of grabs.

Preparation
Molliesk are only edible after dried. Once dry, remove the tendril and heat them in a plate of drur, which will give the body a nice breaded taste as it rises into a soft peachy cusp that can be filled with a main course or dessert of choice. Molliesk plates go best with crisp Lefelle vegetation and chunks of Granpar meat, many critics say.
