Shimmernewt
An iridescent amphibian lunges from the water to grab and clamp down, grinding its bite deeper until the wound won't stop bleeding.
A shimmernewt is a hulking amphibian whose iridescent hide flickers with shifting color as it lunges from the water. Once its jaws clamp shut, it works its prey deeper with a grinding, bloody chew.
