The Okxik (from Cursed Speech Ökksyk), also known as the Drædon or Devourer, is a bipedal orbicular predator native to eastern Dwaia and presumably the Plane of Earth. Several subspecies of Okxi exist, generally growing larger and hairier as they trend northwest from their origins in The Deep Bogh. Based on the Okxik's evil energies, naturally destructive nature, and predator status, most zoologists consider it an invasive species of the First Plane.
Okxiks are feared for their massive maws and the asphyxiating toxins often left wherever they tread. Their strong spring-like legs allow them to run up to 45 miles per hour and jump quite far for their weight. As an incredibly aggressive pack hunter, the nothereastern Oxkik is a nearly inconquerable opponent for most adventurers. Any confirmed sightings of an Oxkik necessitate immediate evacuation.
Origin
The exact origin of the Okxi is unknown. However, it is believed that the species migrated from the Plane of Earth before adapting to the colder and wetter climates of the First Plane. The larger size can be attributed to a lack of competition and therefore abundance of nutrients. The Okxi herds of northeastern Dwaia are more populated as well.
Behavior
The Okxik will mark its territory with piss and shid and bones from kills, and is also observed to build skin tapestries harbouring dreadful messages probably intended to scare away more intelligent creatures.
Apart from the more aggressive and competitive Okxi from the Earth Plane, they often share similar behavioural patterns. Closer to the north, Okxi tends to stay together in bigger herds with males and females cooperating to hunt prey: females often finish kills. Northeastern Okxi are known to take part in wolf-life pack hunting tactics.
Their nests are usually crater-shaped in appearance and are protected with an assortment of layers of prey's skin, bones and rocks, and shid walls. When these nests are threatened the female Okxi will scream out in a horrible fucking noise known as "Hysterical Ass-ripping." Okxi that are particularly DUMMY THICC can, as a defense mechanism, use their rippling rears to generate a shockwave to knock down incoming attackers.
Trivia
Its toes secrete a highly poisonous juice. In fact, this is where the word "toxic" comes from ("toe" + "okxik").
The weight of an Oxkik poses a significant threat when they jump great distances. To help mitigate this, the Okxik will land on collapsible legs and roll to delay its impact over a longer distance. This is thought to be why their legs can fold so tightly into their body while the cephalothorax is roughly spherical.
