[OC] The Giant Ripp'r, The Largest Predator (as of now) of SquidKind [[EASK]]

(for u/OnionpoweredSquid 's challenge)

Truly one of the first apex predators of Jellynohome, the Giant Ripp'r feeds on large grassland prey, such as inkalopes and squorses. It's boney plated arms have developed razor sharp spikes, to allow the Ripp'r to ''rip up'' its prey. While it is outmatched in explosive speed from the Squorses, it makes up for it by being incredibly persistent, often following a herd for days, hiding with it's grassland camouflage, until the perfect time for it to strike.

Once a year, Giant Ripp'rs gather to mate. The male often gift the females with various sticks, rocks, and occansionally, flowers and berries. If the female accepts the gift, they mate and the male takes off, while the female is left by herself to care for their litter of 3-6 ''inklings''. Over the course of two years, she cares for them and teaches them how to hunt. Once a Ripp'r reaches adulthood, they leave their mother to live by themselves until another mating season.
