Warper

The Warper is a life form belonging to the Fauna category. The Warper is capable of opening a teleportation gate, through which the player can eventually follow it. The Warper can currently only be found via Console Commands.

A 3D model of the Warper can be found on Sketchfab.

Some of the Warper's animations can be seen on Trello.

Appearance
The Warper's head resembles a Reefback's body, with two membranes and two small flat sacs visible behind it, and sports a circular mouth comprising of a pair of mandibles and two large, blunt teeth. It has four small eyes that give out a distinct purple bioluminescent glow.

Its body is mostly covered with a purple, cloak-like membrane overlaying its translucent white body. Its visible internal cavity shows a ribcage-like formation, with many veins and organs inside it. It also features two mantis-like appendages for graspers.

The Warper's lower section consists of six tentacles, of which only the two transparent blue-white tentacles are functional, while the rest serves as the end tips of its main body's cloak.

Behaviour
The Warper can shoot teleporting projectiles, which deal 10% damage per hit and will teleport the player or any fauna to a random nearby location.

When the Warper teleports, it will disapear in a small green-yellow gas, similar to that of the boils released by the Gasopod.

The Warper can be seen chasing smaller fauna, and then proceeding to eat them. If its prey goes in a different direction, while it is being chased,  the Warper will teleport in front of it, attempting to cut it off.

 * During the same chat, Cory had said that the Warpers will play a role in the game's story.
