Wrakis

Quietly slipping under the water, it's slick dark carapace hardly seen in the thick swamp waters the wrakis lunges forward. Scythe-like forelimbs gripping a struggling fish as it plunges it's proboscis deep into scaled flesh, feasting on the pulped fluids within.

At three feet long the large insect is far from the apex predator within a given region, but it's ability to hide well in dark silt-thick waters, the fluted appendage in it's back that can reach the surface for oxygen intake and it's wickedly fast sharp forelimbs, makes for quiet a successful ambush predator.
