Cleaning Pachyderm

Before the hole
The Cleaning Pachyderm is a huge squid looking creature. They can reach 10’ in heights and 19’6 in length, have four frontal tentacles that they use to push vegetation before them when they pass through dense forests, they can be used to grab little animals or objects if needed. These are pacific animals, feeding of sediments and dust through the holes at the tip of their numerous and thin dorsal tentacle. They usually walk seemingly without aim, licking the ground or even other animals, cleaning them and eating their sweat or dirt that covered them. They are not smart animals and don’t really have predators that would attack them in normal circumstances, so they just travel around the island cleaning their way through life. To mate these animals have a scream similar to whales that resound up to 7 miles. When they find a partner, they open their plant resembling bulb on their back and link their dorsal tentacles, afterward the baby will grow inside the bulb that will close entirely while the carrier lays dormant. Young ones start feeding by themselves as soon as they leave this unusual womb and quickly learn to walk with their own eight feet. They are amphibians and sometimes go near to water to drink or even feed from the ocean floor when sediments are lacking on the ground.

After the hole
Before the hole came to be, they were a lot of specimens but most of them lived near where the Hole appeared so there is but a few survivors that still walk the ground, vestiges from another era. They can be seen from afar but with their pacific nature they are not feared, on the contrary many animals come near to them to be cleaned, in a kind of symbiotic way. They are one of the few animals that did not change their behavior, with their tiny brain they don’t realized the changes that happened and keep walking and feeding like before. The only thing that changed is their number, there are so few specimen they now look like animals of legend, gigantic figure walking by, unstoppable and peaceful.
