Kaligonoth

Kaligonoth are Bypaldians.

Physiology
Kaligonoth have lean, lanky bodies with greenish skin, similar to mold. They have white hair and a single fleshy tentacle sprouting from their foreheads. They appear to lack lips as their fangs are visible on the outside of their mouths.

Abilities
Kaligonoth are known for their habit of playing dead, similar to the Bird Wyvern Gypceros. They stiffen their bodies to replicate rigor mortis, further feigning death. They attract prey using the lure on their foreheads. This tricks prey into coming close so it can lunge. They drain prey of their bodily fluids.

Behavior
Kaligonoth are considered rather intelligent among Bypaldians. They are nocturnal, so they are mostly active at night and hide during the day. When not hunting, they are skittish, so they immediately play dead once they detect a nearby predator.

Habitat
Kaligonoth prefer to inhabit forests and mountains so they can hide within foliage and cave systems.
