Warper

The Warper is a life form belonging to the Fauna category. However, it's mentioned that the Warper is capable of opening a teleportation gate, through which the player can eventually follow it.

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

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

Data Bank Entry

 * The warper appears to possess a high intelligence level superior to most life forms. Evolutionary traits suggest the warper is capable of sentient thoughts. Most likely the "brain" than "brawn".


 * 1. Unknown body organs- most likely assist with teleportation ability


 * 2. Graspers- most likely creature's sole means of combat


 * 3.  Large brain cavity- Intelligence suggests the warper is a strategic hunter, chasing prey, then suprising and forcing prey into a teleportation gate


 * 4. Bodily cloak- Most likely a means of defense, possibly for mating.
