"description": "Heavy, armoured centipede the colour of weathered basalt, hunting through the cracked-pavement habitat of a cooled lava flow. Up to twenty centimetres long, with venom potent enough to subdue lizards and small rodents. Hunts at night when the flow surface has shed enough heat to permit movement; retreats into deep crack networks during the day. A keystone arthropod predator of the lava-field community.",

"description": "Black-elytra ground beetle that forages across caldera scoria when the surface temperature climbs above sixty Celsius — temperatures lethal to almost every other arthropod. Its haemolymph contains heat-shock proteins continuously expressed at baseline rather than only on stress, and its tracheal openings close to a hair-fine seal that conserves moisture in the dry vent draught. Scavenges insect carcasses blown in by updrafts.",

Hunts across cooled lava flows at night, taking centipedes, skinks, and small rodents that risk the open. Its fangs penetrate medium chitin; venom is fast-acting and largely necrotic, liquefying prey tissue for external digestion. Caches partially digested prey under basalt slabs.",

Naked head and corrosive crop fluids let it feed on heat-killed carcasses that other scavengers cannot touch. Nests on inaccessible basalt towers and lava spires; pair-bonded for life. Its territory is centred on a single active vent and may persist for generations.",
