Storini Crystal Deceiver


 * Often mistaken for its nearest relative, the Glass Prowler, the Storini Crystal Deceiver

is far less common and far more dangerous.
 * The Crystal Deceiver's jaws secrete a poison that is dangerous both to the native

life-forms of Storinal and to mammals from other worlds. The creature feeds on creatures that prey on the Glass Prowler. It simulates the Glass Prowler's movements, luring predators to it; only when they strike does it revert to its natural speed and ferocity, eluding all attacks and ferociously biting its attacker. Its poison is a powerful paralytic that keeps its enemies helpless while it literally eats them alive.
 * Crystal Deceivers are a particular danger to mammalian life-forms because of their unusual

olfactory-based memory retention. A Crystal Deceiver encountering the scent of a mammal will remember it for the rest of its life and follow it whenever it encounters the scent. This unfortunate trait has led to many instances of Crystal Deceivers following wilderness observers from the wild into communitries and attacking them in their residences.
 * The poison of these creatures is not dangerous to healthy individuals. The life of a

victim of a Crystal Deceiver assault can be saved by medical treatment if the creature has not devoured an irrepairable quantity of the victim's body mass.
