A boar-sized liquivore called a Strakk. It feeds in a similar fashion to an Assassan bug, by hooking and injecting a fast-acting digestive enzyme into it's prey (usu. a carcass), who's internal structure liquifies. The Strakk then sucks up the juice with it's straw-like tongue.

The "eye" stalks are really overdeveloped balancing organs, much like our inner ears. It "sees" the world around it by producing an electromagnetic (electrostatic?) field around itself, strong enough to sense and comprehend shapes and objects that enter into the field almost as accurately as actual sight, but weak enough to keep living things in the field unharmed.

It is very much based on the creatures from Wayne Barlowe's Expedition.

I've already told Kimon about it, but didn't have a picture ready. Here you go, buddeh. Inked version coming very soon.

Edit: Inked version coming very now.
