Mumbler

The Mumbler is flightless. It spits fibrous gelatin sourced from dirt, plant matter, and rotten wood that can chemically scald skin from meat until it's chemical compounds neutralize and dry, the jelly hardening into it's nesting material. The wings have turned into a vestigial sensory organ utilized for balance when climbing much like the antenna on their heads. Their mandibles are shaped like down-curved forceps and their vision is based on infrared imaging with a keen perception of depth and heat. They get their name from the slurring, low hum they vocalize to one another at all times. Mumblers lack stingers and instead have a strong bit capable of severing thick branches and roots with a few good bites from their mandibles.
