Although the belching gasper has a drably colored, pathetic host body which is more than content to graze on moss or lichens, the symbiotic worm which lives inside it is garishly colored, a warning sign to potential threats of the debilitating neurotoxin it spews. Unlike other creatures in the gasper family, it survives perfectly well off of a herbivorous diet and generally only supplements it with meat from carcasses it may find. Once spurred to combat, however, it takes pleasure in observing the effects of its poison, and is usually convinced that its poison is the "best" of its kind. |
