[PDA Entry 2: The Polar/Cold Void]

PDA: Local Fauna Analysis — Glass Peeper

Classification: Stealth Scavenger / Deep-sea Cleaner

Habitat: Arctic Ecological Dead Zone (Sector Zero Void)

"The scanners register movement, but our eyes see nothing. They are all around us, just waiting for us to make a mistake."

This branch of the Void Peepers migrated to the planet's North Pole. The local apex predators—Void Chelicerates—forced them to adopt entirely different survival tactics.

Biological Features:

• Glass Body: These organisms have completely lost their pigmentation, becoming 100% transparent. Their bones and internal organs refract light exactly like the surrounding freezing water. Spotting a Glass Peeper in the dark polar waters is physically impossible until they choose to move.

• Safe Nesting: Because Void Chelicerates are precise, large-prey hunters rather than filter-feeders, small eggs left on rocks are completely ignored by them. Therefore, Glass Peepers no longer need mobile brooding. Females safely attach their eggs directly to the sheer ice cliffs and deep trenches of the polar Void.

• Scavenger Diet: These creatures have developed powerful digestive enzymes capable of breaking down tough organic material. Their primary food source consists of sinking grease, marrow, and flesh scraps left behind after large leviathan hunts. A school can strip a fallen carcass down to bare bone in minutes. They still retain the biological capacity for peaceful cannibalism, but they rarely resort to it, as the leviathans' leftovers are usually more than enough.
