Uruku

Urukus are large, ground-dwelling creatures that were brought to Tellus by the invading Jagit during the Tellus Sector War. They are aggressive and extremely difficult to train. Capturing an Uruku can be a lethal task, and requires a large team of specially trained professionals.

Urukus are coated in broad, armor-like scales. They consume various materials, process it, and excrete the byproduct on to their skin. This forms their incredibly tough shells, which vary as they take on the properties of the Uruku's diet. They have four thick legs used to dig through various terrains, as well as propel them across or through land at up to 80 miles per hour. Their jaw splits into three sections; the top being the thickest, with two subjaws, all strewn with multiple sets of razor sharp teeth that are able to resist the strong acid Urukus often spray toward their prey. Their jaw has a strong, nearly unbreakable grip.

Urukus hunt just after sundown via the feeling and signaling of vibrations in the earth, as the creatures lack eyes. After receiving vibration input, the predators will emerge from the ground and send out low decibel roars that acts like an echo radar. Urukus most often drag their unfortunate victims deep into the earth to suffocate and consume them. This predator has proven to be nearly impossible to deter from a hunt once their prey has been targetet, and they are known to keep up the chase for as long as 42 hours.

With their main tool of navigation being through vibration radar, Urukus are susceptible to ground-level explosions. They will either flee or remain stunned for a short time following the blast. Additionally, their unarmored underbelly and mouth, when opened, prove to be sources of weakness for the creatures.
