History
King Kong
When the human crew fell into the canyon, numerous giant insects including Carnictises, Weta-rexes and Arachno-claws attacked them. Several Carnictises attacked Lumpy. He fought back and punched a Carnictis, but then a Weta-rex attacked him. That gave the Carnictises a chance to attack him. Lumpy then grabbed his machete. He killed two Carnictises. Then one Carnictis bit his leg, then another bit his arm as he tried to kill the other one, then another one bit his head from the behind, as they then tore him apart.
Abilities
A Carnictis uses its tooth filled maw to attack its prey. It attaches to its prey with its maw then chews it up alive. When its attached to a victim, it can only be unattached either by killing it, or somehow driving it away. All Carnictises are totally blind and deaf, so they hunt their prey by vibration.[1]
Trivia
- Lower temperature water kills Carnactises.[2]
