The Strix

Description

medium sized, nocturnal herding creatures thats survival depends on complete silence. Yet when provocked or cornered they release a bioluminous film, from specialized organs on the sides of it head, as a way to disorient predators both visually and olfactory. The tiny boney protrusions that run down its spine also create a deafening rattle cause a sensory overload for any predatory, or any other creature near a stampede.

The film/plasma, is a high protein secretion, and also provides nutrients for flora and fauna, but is only used as a last ditch effort to escape predators as it is a costly substance to release.
