Additional Character Bios

Character Bio: Canopy Dragon

The Canopy Dragon is a large and ferocious hunter that resides in our Jungle environment. It has large wings which are attached to the tip of its tail, making it work like a glider. The Canopy Dragon hunts just about anything in the jungle, including the eggs of the deadly Venus Trap Spider. It uses its long scythe like claws to tear through flesh, bones, and any jungle vegetation that gets in its way. The Canopy Dragon positions itself high above its prey, camoflaged against the trees by its cape-like wing structure. It then silently glides towards its prey in a dive bomb style motion. The Canopy Dragon is a solitary creature, preferring to hunt alone. It even gets in fights to the death if it spots another Canopy Dragon on it's 'turf'. 

Character Bio: Treesapper

The Treesapper is an interesting creature, part plant and part parasitic insect. It grows as a seed from Treesapper trees, and drops to the ground. Once in the ground, it starts to grow by absorbing nutrients and water from the earth, much like a plant. After it reaches a certain size, it begins to dig itself up from the ground, and stalk the surface for other insects. During this period of growth, it will constantly burrow into the ground to hide, until it has reached the required level of nutrition. It will then begin its search for a suitable tree, which it will climb and burrow into using its sharp beak like mouth. Once inside the tree, it will cocoon itself and begin growing roots which penetrate deep into the host tree. The Treesapper will begin to grow branches out of the burrow entrance, and eventually completely engulf the host tree, turning it into another Treesapper Tree. Treesappers are generally hunted by the smaller creatures of the Jungle, with little means to defend itself save its beak, but a Canopy Dragon will also eat them if one crosses their path.

Character Bio: Swamp Shark

The Swamp Shark is an ambush hunter that resides in the swamp, attracting prey and camouflaging itself with a fleshy protrusion that looks and smells like a edible flower extending from the tip of its nose. Once its prey comes to feed on the flower, it uses its webbed tentacles like a spring and snatches the victim with its huge jaws. It lays eggs similar to frog spawn, and baby swamp sharks act like piranha, feeding on fish until it reaches maturity.

Character Bio: Lilypad Crab

The Lilypad Crab is an eight legged crustacean lives in swamps and ponds, with and upward facing mouth and tongue. It extends its tongue to the surface, where it looks like a stepping stone. Womp Runners often try to hop across ponds when being chased, mistaking the tongue as a path across. When they jump onto the tongue, it drags them down into its waiting jaws where it is swallowed whole and drowned.
