-------------------------------------!

Inspired by angler fishes and caves. XD
I don't even.... I don't know............... er.............

Tenadeoustums (I wanna call 'em Tenades, because it's shorter) are creatures who usually live in dark caves. They are omnivores. Like anglerfishes, they use their lights to lure in their prey before devouring them. When there is a shortage of food, though, they exit their caves and eat some of the plants that grow close by.

If a lost traveller drifts into a Tenade's cave when the creature isn't particularly hungry, he would happily lead the human to the other end of the cave, using the lights he keeps to trick the traveller into thinking that he is the light at the end of the tunnel. When the creature is hungry though, they use the same method to get the traveller to drift closer before attacking him.

They prefer solitude, thus the reason why they enjoy caves. They can also turn their lights on and off at will. They usually only turn them off to avoid being spotted or when they're asleep.
