Toxic Uboso

Uboso frequenting the Umidus Rainforest  and the Argsok Swamplands .

Basic Information

Anatomy

Uboso are skull faced, bipedal reptilians capable of quadrupedal locomotion. They have digitigrade legs, have large square-ish scutes over their hands, tail base, throat and shoulders. They also have spikes on their necks, shoulders, and tail ends. Every Uboso is also born with a living flame down their neck and tail tip as it is linked to their very life source. While their faces do resemble very closely to a skull, they have eyelids inside of their 'sockets' and slit nostrils behind the 'nasal cavity' opening. Most Uboso also have a lining of flesh between their upper and lower jaw that sits inside of their 'skull'. It is unknown why the anatomy of their head is almost inverted compared to other creatures, though it bothers them not in their daily activities.

Biological Traits

Toxic Uboso are able to belch toxic gases to subdue prey or otherwise foes. These gases contain a poison that attacks the nervous system, eventually rendering the victim immobile if they have received a large enough dosage. If not gas, Toxic Ubosi can also secrete the very same poison in a more liquidated form. With enough, this poison can be used as 'spit' to be hucked at any bare and/or vulnerable surface of their prey.
The poison will seep into bare skin or any oriface and begin taking effect.

Ecology and Habitats

Toxic Uboso have a preference for Rainforest or swampy conditions. The humidity of the air is just the right conditions that they have no problem with it. Deserts are the very bane of their existence because not only does it have bright, exhaustingly hot days, they have horrifically cold nights as well. Toxic Uboso do not do well in cold or extremely hot and dry environments.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Uboso are strict carnivores, only having teeth for rending flesh and crunching bones to consume marrow and bone shards. The calcium in bones helps fuel their fire along side the digestion of meat.

Additional Information

Social Structure

Uboso live in clans among one another, as they are social creatures. As such, there are omega, beta, and Alpha ranking Ubosi in these clans.

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

Uboso have exceptional night vision and are extremely good at listening for potential prey. As such, they hunt mainly at night due to high brightness sensitivities to their eyes. They are capable of diurnal life, however, they prefer to wander heavily shaded areas or on overcast days where the sun's glare is less intense.
