Description:
None → Carnivorous Cannibalistic Crustaceans; Carcuka
A monstrous race of loosely humanoid four-legged crustaceans that inhabit the sandy shorelines of tropical latitudes, known for their insatiable gluttony and semi-aquatic nature. They boast many features known from common crustaceans, though are taxonomically distant from any other living species. Bearing some similarities to lobsters, deep sea crabs, shrimp, and a number of others. Strict carnivores, the Carcuka are predators through and through, with the physiology to match. They are built heavily, carrying thick chitin on dense frames. Carcuka reach adulthood standing anywhere from 6 to 7 feet, continuing to grow even larger throughout their long lives. The largest known Carcuka stood above 11 feet, but few in recent history have neared that number. They have distinctive ruddy orange or sand hued carapaces, asymmetrical claws boasting one very large weaponized claw and a smaller pinching claw for more dexterous work. Their heads are adorned with two pairs of symmetrical resonance chambers that look somewhat like upturned horns, which function as amplifiers for vocalization and displays for attracting mates. Usually weighing around 500lbs at the end of adolescence, and increasing drastically with further growth, they can become quite massive with age.
Their faces crowd with countless mouth-bits that are entirely alien and unreadable to most, but they do possess emotive blue, green, or black eyes with very large irises. They molt once every year, and are usually fully recovered from the exhaustive process after a week. The very oldest Carcuka are an exception to this, as the larger you grow the more difficult molting becomes. Death by exhaustion or starvation during molting is the only complication of age the Carcuka experience.
