Large marine creatures very similar to whales, verucka are vicious carnivores that eat tremendous amounts of fish, though they have no compunctions about eating humanoids and other sentient creatures. Above all else, however, they love to eat cattle, often climbing onto the shore to hunt on unguarded farms, though they won't stop at cattle, typically moving on to chickens, sheep, and even farmers, before returning to the deep, though they are far too slow to sustain a chase, relying on their size and paralysing gas to trap victims. They move clumsily on land with stubby legs that look far too small to support them, and they look almost funny if they weren't also vicious and voracious predators. |
