Drownetrodons are a non-sapient species from the planet Nael'Cixo from the Trixters Universe. They are the natural predator of the Scrubzytes.
Appearance[]
Drownetrodons are large, lizard-like aliens with metallic heads. They have 3 eyes in one eyehole. They have a large sail-like organ running along their back. They come in various shades of blue, but they all have bright red eyes.
History[]
Drownetrodons have always fed on the Scrubzytes. They initially started out as a fully aquatic species who used water-based jet propulsion to quickly move after their prey. The species very nearly went extinct after the Scrubzytes started going on land, so they had to evolve fast. Thankfully, they managed to evolve legs before their prey did, giving them their predatory advantage once again.
Behavior[]
Drownetrodons are pure-blooded killers, constantly hunting & feeding at all times. They rarely ever rest to stop out of fear of being hunted themselves. This results in the most common death for them being over-exhaustion. It's estimated that when a Drownetrodon does actually go to sleep, they go to sleep for about a week and a half, although this has yet to be fully proven.
Diet[]
Drownetrodons are carnivorous & piscivorous. They primarily hunt Scrubzytes when they come down from their hills to feed, but they do feed on any other life they can get their claws on if they can't get their main prey.
Powers and Abilities[]
Drownetrodons can hold gallons of water in a large sack in the back of their neck. This was once used to breathe on land when it still lived in the water, but ever since the Scrubzytes became a land-dwelling species & it grew its own pair of lungs, it has become their main attack. They spray a powerful beam of water at the Scrubzytes to break down their soap trails & to drown them while on land.
Drownetrodons have a long, prehensile tongue that acts like a frog tongue. It shoots out to quickly grab the slippery body of the Scrubzyte.
The Drownetrodons use their steel jaw to grind up their prey into a fleshy mush. The metal in their skull also clears out the soap chemicals held inside the Scrubzytes so it doesn't kill them.
Drownetrodons are incredibly strong & fast for their size, being able to run at a top speed of 17 mph.
Weaknesses[]
The eyes of a Drownetrodon are very sensitive to a Scrubzyte's soap, making it a primary target for any Scrubzyte trying to escape.
Drownetrodons can slip up on a Scrubzyte's soap, if they aren't careful.
The jaw of a Drownetrodon is very stiff due to being made of steel. This means they chew very slowly, giving the Scrubzytes a brief window of time to escape from their mouths.
Trivia[]
- A hypothetical Nemetrix (or Apocatrix) transformation for this species would be called Sailor-Mouth
- Yafavtransgal12345678910 came up with the concept for a Dishcleaner predator based on a Dimetrodon
