I can see why this made it to your personal favorites folder! Back in 2005 a game was launched Oddworld Stranger's Wrath (If you don't know it I strongly recommend it). They gave it the tagline "Oddworld just got Stranger", pity it's already been said it would have fitted this beastie perfectly. I really like the why you have the eyes glow. I cannot explain why but I think this should be a sentient, social animal often finding work singing in very expensive clubs, (I'm going to close the door to that bit of my mind, lock it and walk away) It's hard to imagine how this would evolve but nature does some strange things, the spiny echidna is my go to example, an egg laying mammal that makes it's living sniffing worms up it's nose - I think we have all had worse jobs. Then there is always that hairless ape that keeps other animals captive so it can steel their hair to cover it's self, I hear they have now evolved to cover themselves with hair substitute they make from the fat of long dead sea creatures. What ever Gods may be really do have a sense of humor.
