This is Day One
This creature is a(n): Six-Tripodes Acutus Acedia
This is its story: This odd-looking little fellow is the infamous Six-Tripodes Acutus Acedia. In plain English, it translates from its scientific Latin name into the Six-Legged Sharp Sloth, after its ancestor, the sloth, and its sharp, claw-like feet. Although it may look dangerous because of its sharp and bony legs, it is actually a genetically mutated sloth whose long claws grew in the place of its arms and legs. The researchers and scientists working on genetic experiments had intended to cover its entire body with claws in order to give them a protective armor, but instead ended up with a quite hideous-looking creature with claws in place of its arms and legs.
Unlike the sloth, the Six-Tripodes Acutus Acedia prefers living underground because it is unable to climb into the leafy canopies of trees like its ancestor. It digs itself a cozy little home in order to live and raise young. It occasionally travels above ground to drink water, but usually stays in its underground den and eats the unfortunate insects who come across its resting place. A harmless and quite a small creature, many people have accidentally killed the Six-Tripodes Acutus Acedia, thinking that it was an overgrown spider.
