Europan Hexapod

An unnamed species of giant six-legged predators inhabit Europa millions of years in the future.

Biology
Striding over the icy terrain of future Europa, this predator is a massive creature supported by six columnar legs. It is about the same size as an elephant. The carapace on its back is made out of cellulose fibers and serves as a thermal insulant. Its blood contains antifreeze agents, and its metabolism is slow in order to conserve energy. It feeds on fish-like organisms from local pools that are speared with a retractable harpoon-shaped appendage on its head.
