Territorial Walking by Nightshade Paolumu

While walking around the territory, the grimaces of Nightshade Paolumu should certainly frighten anyone who dares to set foot on his domain... The molting of the elegant fur of Nightshade Paolumu comes in handy: under the wings there is always something to mark its relatively modest expanses!

Characteristics

A Paolumu subspecies capable of putting prey to sleep. It produces a powerful sedative gas stored within its throat sac that it can expel and scatter to knock unwary foes out.

Useful Info

It uses tail swipes and other blows to bat its soporific breath into a target's path. Stubbornly airborne, this monster needs some "encouragement" to drop it to the ground.
