Mimic Muscle
The crust covered clam at the bottom of the cold salt creek. An immense beast, the size of a table. Growths, lumps and bumps run across the hull, cracks and chips appear along the opening. Old and ancient great grooves creates by salt grains gripping along gaps. The shell thick and dense a deep royal purple giving way to a fiery red.
Bubbles burst as the locked lips open, pink and white flesh peeks out from underneath. A long muscle tongue lurks within. The lid continues to open, wider and wider. An immense pearl the size of an ogres fist rests within the flesh folds. Squirming out from under the muscle, four long cable thick appendages. They pull themselves out of the thick protection that was provided. Creating a set of horrible limbs they push themselves upright.
The giant clam now mobile breaches from the creek, it wades through the waters. Muscle arms and legs bending, shrinking and growing in constant engorging movements. The pearl acting as a brain starts to absorb all around it copying and mimicking everything from the surrounding environment. Clam man villages and towns have started to become a common sight within Saltheim.
