Rust Mollusks

Was too damn hot to think of anything original so I drew some pictures for the Morlock Tales pitch.

The creature is a rust mollusk. They feed on fungus in damp underground caves. Their metal shells are grown from minerals absorbed from the ground, which they will also specifically seek out. Veins of iron can often be found by the congregations of adolescent rust mollusks jostling for the best feeding spot. When their shells are fully grown, adult rust mollusks retreat to quieter and darker pools to feed and raise hatchlings.
