Jump to: navigation, search

At full maturity, Grinders stand about five feet tall at the shoulders. Grinders have a yellowish-brown serpentine body set on six dark legs. Their bodies are covered in smooth chitin. Two arms sprout from the front of the torso which end in serrated bladelike appendages. It is with these that a Grinder will cut down trees. Small, clawed hands sit about six inches or so behind these on the inside of the forearms. The Grinder uses these for tasks which require greater manual coordination. A Grinder's head is a large thing with small eyes on the sides of the head. A Grinder's mouth takes up most of the face. When open, the mouth is a near-perfect circle set with rows upon rows of teeth. The muscles in a Grinder's mouth allow each row of jagged teeth, or jaw, to move independently of the rest. The teeth can grind and saw nearly anything in its mouth down to pulp.

Grinders are omnivores, getting most of their sustenance from local plantlife, but are easily startled and respond to such surprises with violence. Grinders will not hesitate to attack interlopers, using their deadly mouths to terrifying results. Grinders get their name from their habit of munching on trees to soothe the ache in their teeth and hands and to keep them groomed. The wood pulp this produces is also used by Grinders to build their homes. Grinders will dig a large hole underground and then leave to find pulp. The Grinder grinds a tree down, the pulp is carried in their gullet and then regurgitated near the den. The Grinder molds the pulp and lets it harden, building tough dens to shelter in. The tops of these dens the Grinder camoflauges with leaves and debris. Grinders have a limited vocal range, which mostly consists of a rasping, gargling sound, but when chewing on plantlife, Grinders emit a low, resonating hum. When agitated, Grinders will "roar," which comes out as a strangled rasp.
