Appearance

At seven feet long without the tail, Faceless is an ambush predator and true monster. It has three mouths: one on its face, one on the ventral side of its torso, and one with bonus venomous fangs extending nearly all the way down its snake-like tail. A ridge of short spines down its spine also carries the venom, albeit in a smaller dose--only enough to cause severe irritation. Their main purpose is to discourage attacks from above, like when you grab a sharp variety of cucumber and get stabbed. Its shoulder spikes serve much the same purpose, but without venom.

Its face-mouth can be considered its main head. It doesn't open up the way you'd expect, given the placement of its 'eyes'--are they even eyes? They seem to be nothing but dark, soulless pits... but they can see like true eyes, as well as sense heat signatures. It has another, more 'normal' one on its snake-tail. A set of extendable tentacle-like appendages is another formidable weapon in its arsenal. Like a lizard's tongue, they dart out lightning-quick to snag smaller prey.

The face itself is normally white or a shifting grey-purple-blue-green, and surrounded by a halo of dark bristles. It flares them for intimidation, and tucks them for hiding. Both the tail and the face are capable of changing colors, and powerful emotions may cause them to change to reflect that. It usually prefers simply to darken them to match its fur when stalking prey.

Its main head is the only one capable of real speech, though the tail can make vague garbled sounds. And despite its abundance of mouths and hunting prowess, it is almost constantly hungry. All that teeth doesn't leave much room for the digestive system, after all. Though it is capable of taking down large prey, it can only eat a little at a time, and the rest must be left to rot.

Faceless' forelimbs are much like a mantis', albeit better adapted for climbing and with sharpened chitin tips, and its hind limbs are two-toed with sharp claws. It is capable of walking on four limbs, running while hunched on two, or hopping like a kangaroo.

Their moldavite gemstone is green-black and minuscule, perhaps the size of a human thumb. One of those short thumbs; I forgot the name. Maybe half of a normal thumb. It is tucked into Faceless' armpit, and what little gemstone that appears above the skin is covered by its soft fur.

Personality

Faceless would like to think of itself as pragmatic--and it is, most of the time. Despite its monstrous appetite, it rarely chooses to take risks when hunting, preferring surer and safer targets over a meadow deer, for example. Though it will not hesitate to go after Greater Gembound if it is hungry and thinks it can get away with it, it recognizes the risks: that magic may come surprisingly powerfully from an unassuming target, and that it must be wary of the possibility of revenge.

However, it is not the most socially adept of Gembound, nor the best of problem solvers. Faceless is primarily a creature of instinct, and becomes nervous and jumpy when faced with something it doesn't know how to react to: a dangerous thing, given that its instinctive solution to most problems is kill it. The other options, of course, are running away or slinking into the shadows to hide. None of these choices make for a particularly good conversationalist; it is prone to snap at annoying Gembound or simply turn around and disappear without a word when it begins to dislike the turn the interaction has taken.

Despite its social shortcomings, Faceless enjoys the idea of 'friendship', even if it has a different idea of what that word means than most other people. If it enjoys someone's company, it often returns to seek them out, and may even bring little gifts for them.
