Ukhinbooum (animal)
Ukhinbooum are arachnid creatures rarely found throughout Aironoi. They are said to resemble dogs in size and shape, though they support a hardened exoskeleton, and an elongated snout. Their saliva is filled with horrendous poisons and diseases that destroy their prey from the inside. They are incredibly dangerous, though tend to avoid large groups or dangerous prey. They should be avoided at all costs when travelling alone, or on foot.
Ukhinbooums are disgusting, vitrolic creatures. From where we've hidden ourselves in the rocks, just above the coast of the Brass Sea, three of the beasts suckle on the juices of a corpse, while wrapping it in webbing excreted from their tail end. Their dark, outer carapaces shimmer under the bright sun, wet from the rising tide. Each of the creature's six legs scamper through the the sand, shifting and jumping with a frenzied hunger. Not far along the coast, the opening of a massive cave yawns, most likely their nest. It is said that the ukhinbooum are dangerously venomous, and if they manage to latch their elongated snouts into your skin, it won't matter if they kill you themselves there and now, the toxins will do it for them. Our best chance for victory will be to strike with surprise on our side, and kill the creature as quick as we can.
