Ginkus Ankli

The ginkus ankii is thought to be native to Tinea-Fabre but conclusive research has yet to confirm this. Also called the slithering foot trap or the fanged cornucopia, the creature’s method of capturing prey is to ease itself into a sizeable hole or burrow created by another animal and wait for something to fall in. Once prey steps or falls into its mouth, the ginkus encloses it, stuns it with anaesthetic enzymes and begins to digest it. The ginkus sometimes gathers leaves, dead vines and other detritus into its mouth to provide additional camouflage.
The ginkus is a mild annoyance to humans who step into one. The creature usually recognises that a human limb is not its natural prey and refuses to enclose it. Being highly inert, it can do little other than show its teeth, undulate in a disturbing fashion and wait for the individual to withdraw the entrapped appendage.
