Sand-devils

The Sand Devils are one of the few large terrestrial predators of Sekmet. These pack hunting organisms are built for the chaotic climate of this planet. They often hunt in packs of 4, but some hunt in groups of 9-12 individuals.

They have the unique ability to change the color of the skin, turning jet black when it gets cold to absorb more heat, using their crest to absorb more heat. They turn pale white on hot days to reflect light to keep cool. They also use it to intimdate rivals and scare away scavagers.

However, they can change they’re color to disguise themselves if they spot prey. The pack of Sand Devils will converge on their prey, usually having the younger individuals chase it into the disguised adults, which will use their fully developed tail spine to inject a highly acidic venom into their prey,l liquifying their insides. The youngest individuals get to eat first, and the older individuals get or eat second. This is done so the younger individuals get get the needed nutrients to develop their tail spine.
