Tripodero. - [Fearsome Critter]

Tripodero. - [Fearsome Critter] - Latin: 'Collapsofemuris geocatapeltes."

•About this critter: a Sharp shooter of the american wilds, varmint-sized with a snout built like a canon, it has a sturdy kangaroo like tail for balance (tipped with a spade for digging*) Short->Long retractable, telescoping legs allow it to dart above and below the canopy for better aim, or for a quick, stealthy escape. 
Quadrapedal porcine, as well as Winged, Avian (and numerous other variants) exist across the americas, particuarly they're said to have thrived near Texas & California.
*They store Hardened clay-pellets in their cheeks and fire them out at great speeds, Their target is instantly knocked senseless, and then slowly digested. Each genus has a unique fire rate, Sheldom do they miss their pray!

• History: This critters earliest appearance was in Fearsome Critters 1910. (i lost my progress on my write up so i have a lot more to say, I'll come back and add to this when i have the time to do a re-write!)

[William T Cox, 1910]
