Swamp Scavenger - Tumblr Posts

natatomus, more commonly called a swamp scavenger, are semiaquatic carrionivorous mammals, they travel across the Tyrants Swamp and other bodies of freshwater in southern dumuno looking for corpses, both aquatic and terrestrial, they use their specialized beak to pull the flesh off of the corpses, they spend the majority of their days underwater, rarely leaving unless theres food or theyre mating, they rarely eat living prey, though it has been documented eating small fish crustaceans and even small terrestrial animals if theyre hungry enough, if you have any questions regarding this mammal please dont be afraid to ask

[image ID: a transparent pixelated digital drawing of a swamp scavenger. it is a mammal-like quadruped with a long body, four short, plantigrade legs with webbed feet, and a thick tail. it has small ears and purplish-blue eyes with horizontal pupils, like a goat or cuttlefish. its fur is light-medium brown. the fur on its face transitions into a yellowish beak, similar in shape to that of a finch. end ID]

fanart for @speculative-world ! this creature is called a swamp scavenger and it’s what the name suggests, a semiaquatic swamp-dweller that subsists off of carrion and the occasional live prey. many of @speculative-world ‘s other creatures have keratin beaks, the same material that hair, fingernails, and rhino horns are made of, so i wanted to represent that by having the fur transition into a beak.
