🙥 Roast Lobnite with Butter 🙧

Crustacean or Mollusc? Lobnites seem to occupy both classifications of the invertebrate tree of life. Found on both sides of Atreia, they are a really ancient species too, dating back to the great oceans. Fossils of those can still be found in the sediments. Two of their still alive kin are found in Asmodae: The Tentacled Lobnite of Altgard and Frost Lobnite in Beluslan.Both living at or on icy waters. Their different life stages fill different niches. Their offspring grazing particles under ice sheets, using their crab like legs and grasping claws to pick them up, right into their beaked moths, surrounded by rings of tentacles. Pre and young adults will traverse the waters.Using their syphon to propel them or change direction, while the gas in their chambered shells make them adjust high and depths. With the help of their tentacles, they will smell out fish and crustaceans, as well as dead material. Full grown and hip high Individuals, give up their fully aquatic lifestyle and become semi aquatic. Still living and feeding near the water or on the ice sheets.Here they have opportunistic and omnivorous feeding behavior, grabbing whatever they can pick apart with their frontal grabbing claws. Their movement is dependent on their crab-like legs, dragging their big planispiral shell behind them. And while always keeping a big watchful eye on their surroundings, they are not aggressive. Though they can become quite intrusive, if hungry and if a feeding source is denied. Then they might start picking on humans, pinching them. Which is everything but pleasant, considering their size, but what's even more unpleasant, is this cephalopod's ability to sting, if they feel threatened. Their secondary tentacles have flexible, razor-sharp quills made of keratin shooting out their soft husks. Designed to impale and thick as a finger, the nettled toxins of the tentacles getting rubbed into the open wounds are the smallest problem of those attacked by an angry Lobnite.
Once slain, they make for a pretty good feast. All the harvested meat can be skewed. Primary big tentacles, thick as a child's arm, can be attached whole, while secondary ones have to be dequilled first.The inner tissue with the finer tentacles around their chitin beak can be turned inside out, while other tissues can be filled up with the more fragile parts of the animal, making for little hot pockets. Legs and claws can be cracked, to reveal their flesh. Put together on a big, metal skewer, they will be fast roasted over a fire, before their delicate flesh is placed on a heat plate, to let chocals finish the work. In the meantime, three blocks of Abex butter shall be used to cover the browning surface. Rotate to dispose evenly and finish off with the same amount of bay salt, as the meat is very mild, due to its freshwater lifestyle. If prepaid right, the meat varies from flaky to chewy - not gummy - depending on which body part is consumed. Its taste also variegate from cab, fishy, to a mildly sweet and nutty flavor.
Enjoy, as one does not eat such a big ancient creature every other day!
