Optipus

The optipus is a creature encountered by Tratot during his quest to rid the jungle of poachers. It exhibited powerful telepathic abilities, forcing Tratot to drop his spear and remain motionless while it engulfed him. Only the pain of being eaten alive allowed him to break its mental hold. After Tratot defeated it he ate part of the optipus, resulting in extreme sickness but also a quickly-fading psychic ability of his own.
