Seashell Bug

Seashell bugs live on the verge of a black sand beach, dotted with hundreds of holes. As the rainy season fades and the sunshine warms the black sands of bita’galo, thousands of fist-sized creatures, with six legs and what appears to be a green/black/brown tortoise shell on their back, make their way from the dense rain forest to the sun-baked beaches. These are seashell bugs and their favorite food, kelpis root, is now in season. Digging deep holes in the sand, the seashell bugs search for kelpis root. Within just a few hours, the once pristine black sands take on a pock-marked appearance that will soon disappear with the incoming tide. For weeks the seashell bugs will make their home on this stretch of beach, gathering kelpis root and storing bunches of it in one hole or another.

Seashell Bugs are freinds with Tugo.
