Jemoa Female

Description

The Jemoa is a rarely documented desert dwelling species, living in some of the shallow caves that speckle Midden's immense equatorial desert. They tend to hunt at dawn and again at dusk, striking quickly with their stinger, and then withdrawing while their prey dies. If the prey takes more than 2 minutes to succumb to the deadly venom (which is actually a form of Axon destroying neriotoxin) then the Jemoa will finish it off with his/her claws. They will then drag the prey back to their cave, where they will feed.

Jemoa are not social at all, only encountering others to mate, or duel, if they are both male. The males are usually larger than the females, and hunt more often than their counterparts.

It would be interesting to see one try to hunt a similarly sized creature that had a particularly strong immunity to venoms and had it's own defenses.
