Worrt

Natural Range:
Tatooine buffs.
Niche:
Carnivore.

These bulbous reptilians dwell in rocky areas of the planet Tatooine. They are about forty centimetres in diameter and have a drab brownish colouration. The creature's back is studded with defensive horns and spikes. The mouth is broad and lipless. Toes at the ends of each of the two pairs of limbs bear soft suction cups as an aid to climbing and maintaining purchase on stone surfaces. Worrts are best known for their lack of intelligence and for their virtually-indiscriminate voracity. The beast will flick out its long sticky tongue to attack any moving object smaller or of similar size to itself.
