-====== SHADUL ======
-===== Overview =====
-The Shadul is a deep-sea ambush predator native to the [[dark_sea_region|Dark Sea Region]] on the [[dark_side|Dark Side]] of [[the_planet_voi_700_d|VOI 700 D]]. This slow-moving but deadly hunter relies on patience, deception, and its bioluminescent lure to ensnare prey in the cold, abyssal depths. The Shadul is one of the least understood creatures of the Dark Sea, as it rarely ventures near the hydrothermal zones where most [[the_humans|Exohuman]] research has been conducted.
-Despite its near-total immobility, the Shadul is a fearsome predator, using its tentacle-like appendages to pull unsuspecting prey into its massive, cavernous mouth lined with inward-facing teeth. It anchors itself to rocky outcroppings or the seafloor, allowing ocean currents to bring food directly into its deadly reach.
