Coal Tar

aka Darksucker

General

Ambush predators living in the tar pits of Black Gulch.
These mysterious invertebrates wait for prey to pass within striking distance and then burst out to attack,
using fingerlike appendages to immobilize the victim while grinding it apart with hideous chewing mouthparts.
