Vorleg

Vorleg

Description

The reptilian form of Vorlegs is sleek and well-adapted to its dark and damp habitat, its scales glistening with an oily sheen that reflects the pale moonlight. The Vorleg's beady eyes gleam with intelligence, and its sharp fangs are ever ready to deliver a venomous bite. What is truly dangerous about Vorlegs though is their multiple tentacles that cover its back, which they can use to strike with uncanny precision and ensnare its prey in a vice-like grip. The tentacles are lined with barbed hooks and secrete a paralyzing toxin, rendering victims helpless as the creature moves in for the kill. The Vorleg is a master of ambush, its tentacles striking from the shadows and dragging its prey into the darkness.
