I haven’t drawn Parsnik or Lepi since BEFORE the student party😭 At least Lepi has an official design, unlike Parsnik. So, I just used the design I gave him..just slightly updated to fit his silhouette. Though, I probably should’ve made him green…oh well!

Species Name: Salad Demon (Radix verma and Radix serpens) Habitat: The Ruined Catacombs Average Height: A- ~1 ft/0.30 m, B- ~2 ft/0.61 m (fully extended) Average Weight: Not measured Diet: Insects, arachnids, gastropods, small mammals, carrion Temp. Regulation: Ectothermic Abilities: Capacity for speech (limited), chlorokinesis, burrowing Disposition: Confrontational Threat Level: 1

USO-07A: An organism resembling a carrot or similar root vegetable. They have slanted black eyes with no pupils and a V-shaped mouth at the center of their bodies. Their coloration is usually various shades of orange or brown, with green leaf-like appendages sprouting from their heads that they can extend to crawl around. Not a danger so long as they are not consumed.

USO-07A is a parasitic organism that mimics a common food source of the Underground in order to be purposefully eaten. It reproduces asexually, with split-off chunks of it developing into individual larvae within an organism’s stomach or digestive tract and feeding off of the nutrients said organism consumes. Once USO-07A larvae grow to a large enough size, they will begin to eat through the digestive system’s protective lining until the creature either regurgitates them or dies via a number of unpleasant ways. They become ambush hunters upon maturity,  their food-like disguise pulling double-duty as a lure for unsuspecting prey. I will admit that I fell for this ruse upon first discovering them, though luckily I did not get to consume it. The specimen I encountered seemed to decide that I was food and attacked me, which is odd considering that I am almost 5x bigger than its usual prey. Safe to say it did not succeed in its hunt. 

USO-07B: An organism that resembles USO-07A very strongly, with the leaf-like appendages replaced by snake-like pseudopods instead. Each pseudopod has markings that resemble eyes and a gaping mouth with four needle-thin fangs. Still not much of a threat, but avoid it if possible.
