Another peek into the world of Monoculi, with a sort of mostly arboreal leech. Compressible, elastic spines and muscular extensions of the respiratory system give them a spring-like speed for seizing prey and hopping around. These animals comprise a diverse family of mouse to housecat sized predators, and are known by an equal array endemic names, with meanings like “vine which bites”, “snapping worm” or “flying tree-branch”. Most live in tree canopies or within the branching “roots” of bio-caves, a habitat type unique to this planet’s biome.
