Indigenous to seemingly desolate volcanic islands the Cinder Cruris is a large and cumbersome beast. Opportunistic, they feed on a wide variety of plant and animal prey. Their large index finger is used for foraging, protection and hunting purposes. Not particularly fast they are capable of short bursts, charging and trampling anything in it's path.



Living solitary lives it is only during the nesting season that large groups will return to the volcanic "fields" they were born from. Huge mounts of sediment are constructed, which will house their clutch of eggs. Great care is placed into the construction as it is the only protection the eggs will have from predation and the elements.

Early arrivals will lay their eggs near volcanic outlets and hot springs as the heat will incubate the eggs quicker as well as keep predators at bay. Eggs can lie dormant for months if the hots beds are inactive causing huge gaps between generations.
