Carnivorous Sand Clam
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Carnivorous Sand Clam is an aquatic life-form from the planet of Salutation.[1]
These creatures lie on the shallow coastal margins where they hunt semi-aquatic animals. Carnivorous Sand Clams possess two large, serrated valves approximately 2 metres across. A clam spends most of its time submerged in the sticky mud. When a victim stumbles near the Clam, it feels the vibrations of the creature's movement and suddenly opens, drawing sand and the victim to its shell. Though a human is too large for a clam to crush and eat, their powerful jaws could break a leg or an arm and only by destroying the creature could a victim make their escape.[1]
