Description (Initial Observations): This huge mutant beetle is elongate (think of an earwig) and has enlarged mandibles and breathing tubes (which are on its abdomen).
Reactions: No known interactions
Behavior: A rhya hunts in a large depresion of its own making. It does this in an area that has clumps of grass instead of fields. It waits until a prey creature moves in front of its head. It snaps up and strikes forward, attempting to crush the prey with its mandibles. The poison is produced in a gland right behind the eyes and is excreted on to the mandibles. A rhya tries not to move much and thus will rarely hunt down escaped prey. If a predator shows up, a rhya will withdraw its breathing tubes and rely on its gills.
