Critter 150-Heven Death-Scavenging just about anything, its strong mandibles can pinch off a finger. Their bite is toxic, may be fatal if not given an antidote. Thankfully, due to their skittish and solitary lifestyle, there aren't many bites per year.

Critter 208 - A rare insectivore from the mushroom forests. It is a quiet and solitary creature, which typically ventures out under the cover of darkness. It is skittish in nature, and its many adornments are toxic to the touch, a deterrent to predators.
