Zoomp: WIP
The zoomp is an animal who lives on the northeastern seaboard of north america. It can grow up to 20cm tall and can be as small as 5cm, it's a bright orange in color but as a pupil it is a dark red. depite these vibrant colors only the pupil is poisonous and can its poison can kill a grown man within 24hr of deadly exposure. The adult is non poisonous and cannot move. The zoomps most common predators are the red winged hawk, foxes, and small birds of prey.

The Zoomp's appearnce:
The zoomp is about 20cm at full maturity and about 5cm at its youngest point in time. they are incapable of movement due do there bony hips and lack of knees. They have disproportionately short arms and whilst being able to move they don't have hands and cannot pick anything up. Its legs take up move of it's height the head is only about 3cm leaving 17cm for the legs. they only have one bone in the leg but have fully functioning feet. the reasoning for this will most likely always be a mystery to science.

Defense mechanism of the Zoomp:
Despite the inability to move the Zoomp has an "effective" way to defend from predators. The zoomp defending it's self works by when it is threatened by a a predator it's legs violently explode sending out needle sized shrapnel at high speeds. this shrapnel is known to blind and kill animals. The downside is this causes immense pain in the the zoomp and does not heal or bleed so they continue to feel this pain for the rest of they're lives. They have shown the ability to regenerate all limbs to full size but including in they're legs but once they're legs explode they lose the ability to regenerate they're legs.
