Mireling

Ohio Amphibians - the Corpse Frog #1

Scientific Name: Piscana, G. [species]

Species: Miniature Mireling, Longjaw Mireling

Evolutionary Kind: Amphibian

Diet: Scavenger/Carnivore

Reproduction: Oviparous

Conservation: Nearly Extinct


BASIC DESCRIPTION

Mirelings emerging from their hovels are a frightening sight. Resembling a corpse rising from a forgotten grave, their long snouts push up mud and debris and their arms claw outward. Two bulbous, brown eyes protrude from the top of the head, causing onlookers' imaginations to consider grisly explanations. Snapping or gurgling for only a brief moment, the creature delves back into the mire; when large, possibly dangerous entities are near, it does not expose itself to the surface for long.


Pulled from hiding and cleaned, Mirelings appear to be chubby, large-eyed, crocodile-nosed frogs that never lose their tadpole-tail; two pincher-like fangs protrude from the mouth, one at the top, the other at the bottom. Like aquatic creatures of the abyss, this amphibious organism looks out of place above land.
