Description
Digdoggers are large spherical arachnids adapted to a subterranean lifestyle. They have leathery hides stretched over a rudimentary endoskeleton, and short, powerful limbs oriented for digging.The Digdogger has been found to tolerate higher levels of carbond dioxide than other creatures, because their blood cells have a special and unique hemoglobin protein. Digdogger are able to reuse the oxygen inhaled when above ground, and as a result are able to surivie in low-oxygen environments such as underground burrows.
A Digdogger's diet primarily consists of small invertebrates found in the soil, and a variety of other subterran morsels. The Digdogger runs are in reality a kind of trap: the Digdogger senses when a victim falls into the tunnel and quickly runs along to kill and eat it. Because their saliva contains a toxin that can paralyze their victims, Digdogger are able to store their still-living prey for later consumption.

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING.
Oh my gosh, I mean.... as I look at it, and try to imagine it, in its full size-----like what would Link even do?
You should totally draw him fighting one of these things; it would be absolutely horrifying.

Very VERY high praise, and I appreciate it very much. Link would certainly have to get a very awesome dungeon item in order to defeat this big boy, its the fantasy equivalent of giant spider mechs lol
Maybe one day I actually will get around to drawing Link vs the Digdogger.
You want to know whats really scary though? Theres an entire species worth of them.
