Description Name: Spider Rock
Location: Though living in rocky terrain would be more suited to their appearance they find it hard to move around over boulders/stones and are more likely to be found in light forested areas.
Rarity: Uncommon.
Size: Size can vary but most tend to be around 2-3 feet.
Taste: The Rock Spider has a highly desired taste similar to Beef and despite it's appearance it is very meaty under it's stone shell.
Danger Level: High.
Poisonous: Indirectly.
Any extra traits: The Spider Rock has a very thick, hard shell that is almost impossible to break and when attacked can lock itself down very much like a limpet. The only way to remove the meat from inside The Spider Rock is to try from underneath. This plant is carnivorous but since it can't directly attack anything and leave itself vulnerable it secretes thin 'webs' of paralysing, corrosive liquid from the 'cracks' in it's shell. This is where it get's it's Spider name. The web traps the creatures that are unfortunate enough to stumble across it and starts to dissolve/decompose them so that when the Spider Rock makes it's next trip around it's web it can eat whatever has been left on the lines with the mouth on it's stomach. The 'Webs' can cover more distance the larger the Spider Rock is.

Okay, so this is my entry to =Drayok 's Fennedible contest entry. Now, the picture might not seem very interesting but I actually put a surprising amount of thought into this little critter. Having been through about 3 different designs I decided to stick with this someone simple idea, which is a little boring I guess.. since it's essentially a rock.
Pah!
I tried to make the picture look like a page from a book or field guide. I was going to hand write the information that's on there but my handwriting is actually terrible, so I did you all a favour.

Anyway, I also think there is a little too much information on there, but ideas need to be written down gosh darn it! Hope it's all understandable, I tend to rabble. Like now. Any questions, i'll try and answer them XD

That is the coolest!
I love monster things like that. (:
And this is a really great idea, I love the teeth on this thing, and the trail of liquid. Good luck in the contest! C:

that is awesome looking! I love the teeth especially. haha, it'd be kinda cool eating a rock I think XD I'd try one, anyway. I'd have someone catch it and prepare it for me of course. I love the way it reacts to things, how you have to hunt it, and the general theme is quite wonderfully put together. Uninteresting? I loved reading about this Fenn! Quite a pleasing entry,

Thanks for entering I'll add this to my other entries~

Well, i'm glad you like it
I was worried that it wasn't going to be as visually interesting as the other designs that i've seen, so i tried to make the idea behind it a little more complex.
And then I got a little carried away with it XD

Anyway, it was fun to do, can't wait to see the winners

I like how you underlined "alive" like it's a huge warning. Like the spider rock itself was writing this as a warning to anyone reading it. XDDD Although you probably just did it for the whole "field guide" aspect of it, right? XD

This is really cool. It is definitely not something I'd normally see in your gallery. O_o Good luck in the contest.

I thought that was a pretty important detail XD But yeah, it was meant to be like a note from the person writing it.

I do enjoy making up the weird and wonderful not that this is wonderful, it's a rock I just keep them to myself most of the time.
Thankss

I absolutely love the concept and the picture. Not interesting? It's perfect and I could definitely see it in a book.

It took me awhile to understand the whole rock feet thing, but maybe..if you don't mind me saying, you could possibly go another route with the feet and make it seem more 'spider-like'. Maybe instead of being rocks the legs can look like vines or something long. Just a thought. Then again, your small legs go with the fact that it's slow and has to find another way to trap and decompose its food, so your way works just as well.

I would hate to step in one of those webs. Yikes!

Thank you very much, I really appreciate it!

I actually did think about that sort of thing for the legs great minds, eh? but I thought they would look a little out of place on it and the little rock feeties would blend in better.

Haha, yeah, it definitely wouldn't be the way I would choose to go. Eeek!
