Mawstinger

Mawstingers are viscous subterranean predators. They generally inhabit underground rivers and pools within deep caves, but are also able to move quite quickly over land. The stinger at the end of the tail contains a fast acting venom akin to a scorpions, which is designed to immobilize the target. The creature's mouth then balloons to three times it's normal size to swallow the prey whole.
