Special Abilities:
- Bioluminescence: Ludos have chemical compounds in their bloodstream which give off a natural phosphorescent light. This multi-colored illumination aids the ludos in navigating through murky waters and acts as a naturally occurring defensive mechanism (see below).
- Luminescence Control: Ludos can often scare off would-be predators by a sudden burst of bright bioluminescence, ranging from a blazing red to brilliant white. If all else fails, the ludos will change to a dull black color and play dead in hopes the confused attacker will move off.
- Tentacles: Ludos tentacles are well-developed. These are used primarily to sift through mud and silt, catching small game with its multiple suckers. On land, these manipulative appendages assist in movement through and along forest growth (+1D to any climbing/jumping rolls)
Move: 6 (land), 12 (swimming)
Size: Adults average 30-45 centimeters in diameter, with tentacles 80 centimeters long
