The Crawl

Scandere Carnis (Latin for: Climb the Flesh) commonly referred to as The Crawl, is the first member of the Carnis family and the origin for all other Vita Carnis species. Due to its persistent and adaptive nature, it's abundant in all climates worldwide. They look like fleshy roots and feed of electricity.

The ends of the Crawl's tendrils have organelles to absorb water and organic matter. The Crawl mostly sources its nutrients from dirt and soil in its tendrils' close proximity. Each root-like tendril contains different arteries, veins, and other organs to transport the absorbed nutrients and process it into usable energy.

The Crawl performs its own form of photosynthesis. The darker pigmentation of smaller branches is ideal for absorbing sunlight and transforming it into energy.The Crawl's unique life cycle leads to many changes in nature's balance. Waste by animals and plants is consumed and processed by the Crawl. The old branches fall off and decay into nutrient-rich soil, which increases plant growth in its proximity. Also, the meaty tendrils of the Crawl can be eaten by carnivores.
