DW: Tavakh

The Tavakh is the largest predator of the dying Earth.

Description
Tavakh are 15m long hexapods. Four legs end in clawed feet, but the front two bear large, muscular, two-part claws. They have reptilian heads and their hide is embedded with thick scutes. A number of long filaments hang from their back, each ending in a poisoned barb. These barbs cannot penetrate Tavakh skin, but provide a useful deterrent to less durable creatures.

They are ambush predators, digging deep caves and lying in wait at the entrance with their claws ready to grab anything that passes.

Tavakh have a number of pouches on their backs. After mating, in each is a gestating baby Tavakh, feeding from milk-like secretions produced within. Gestation takes a month, and then the 50cm-long offspring will tear out through the surface membrane. The firstborn will open up all other pouches and then kill and eat the contents. If others are born during this time, they also will consume their siblings. Once born, juvenile Tavakh ignore each other.
