Attrapoid

Attrapoides are omnivorous scavengers and occasional ambush predators of smaller creatures. As semi-aquatic creatures, they can maneuver in water and on land. Consequently Attrapoids are mostly found around wetlands, marshes and river deltas where they build underground burrows in the soft soil. They tend to avoid longer visits in arid locations to avoid drying out their thin semi-translucent skin. Adult Attrapoides can reach a length of up to 3-3.75m and a weight up to 225kg. As such they are mostly safe from all but the larger predatory creatures.

Discovery teams report a temperament dependent on availability of needs. While docile and unaggressive when having access to abundant food, comfortable habitat and a suitable mate, they can become aggressively territorial and quick to fight any male interloper when those are unavailable.

Attrapoides act primarily on instinct. Like most creatures found on Keto, once primary requirements of survival are met, they are constantly looking to find a suitable mate to inseminate. Breeding Teams report a comparatively low ejaculate volume of 100-500 ml per climax. Further analysis determined an average sperm count of 150-250 million per ml with an above average motility.

The Attrapoid was named by Breeding Specialist Natalie Arambourgh for the resemblance to a creature from a 20th century movie CTO Rebecca Sharpe made her watch.
