Aranea Cancri



Aranea Cancri or "Spider Crab" is a six legged bird with an exoskeleton and armored plating at each of it's jointes. The creature is mostly a dull tan with purple on the armored plates. It has a black beak with two orange eyes. It also sports two large sensory organs from it's head, which compensate for it's lack of smell.

It is only about 0.4 meters tall and is fairly rare. It was discovered on Terra of M22.



Society and Behaviour
Aranea Cancri is mostly found alone. It is an omnivore but is readily hostile towards humans but has known to be docile to most other creatures, so long as they are not predators. They only produce offspring once in their lifetime, so therefore they are rare.

They are known to dwell in mountainous regions.
