Edafosax (Creature) Synopsis
The Edafosax is an enormous burrowing omnivore/eater, capable of consuming enormous amounts of biomass.
The local sophonts developed a number of poisoning techniques that are believed to have made the Edafosax extinct. There hasn't been an Edafosax sighting in decades.
Edafosax (Creature) Physiology & Ecology
Eventually, colonies were established there, and a life form native to that continent - a large, burrowing carnivore - proved to be an intolerable nuisance, tunneling through walls and collapsing whole levels of the sentients' underground cities. This problem was solved when the natives learned how to wipe out the carnivores with poisons that prevented their reproduction.
The Edafosax lives in the seclusion of underground burrows, coming to the surface only rarely, and then often by accident. Researchers believe that the Edafosax is a loner, only coming together during the mating season. Deep runways lead from the Edafosax’s den to its hunting grounds. The denning area proper consists of irregular chambers here and there connected with the deep runways. Most of a Edafosax’s runway system is made up of shallow tunnels ranging over its hunting ground. These tunnels may not be used again or they may be re-traversed at irregular intervals. The maze of passages that thread the soil provides protective cover and lairs for several species of planetary fauna.
Edafosax (Creature) Trophics
The favored prey of the Edafosax is the Chamax.
Because of their extremely high food requirements, Edafosax must cover a larger amount of area than do most animals that live underground. The home range of a male mole is thought to be almost measured in tens or even hundreds of kilometers. Some scientists have estimated that an Edafosax can consume at least 500,000 kilograms a day.
Edafosax (Creature) History & Advisory
Eventually, colonies were established there, and a life form native to that continent - a large, burrowing carnivore - proved to be an intolerable nuisance, tunneling through walls and collapsing whole levels of the sentients' underground cities. This problem was solved when the natives learned how to wipe out the carnivores with poisons that prevented their reproduction.
