Creatures of FASA

FASA 365 Day 71, Armored Skitter. 1-1.5 ft. Desert Nocturnal, Eats Insect and desert plant roots. The claws can be heard at night Skitting across the desert rocks… hence the name.
Eadible, however its predators are few. First, because the only way to get to the good stuff is from underneath. Second, because turning it over is very difficult.
If it has a chance to cling or dig into something solid. Third, if a predator did get it turned over; the skitters clench over its belly, and or onto the snout of an attacker, like a steel trap.
Artists Note: Is that a nose or a chin…? Someday I will have to decide. What do y’all think?
