Hophopop

The Hophopop (HOP-hoe-pop) is an insect-like creature.

Anatomy
The Hophopop has an anatomy vaguely similar to a locust: two smaller legs at the front and two long curved legs in the back, allowing it to lump long distances in a single bound. Its body is made up of three segments, the mouth located at the front, splitting vertically instead of horizontally. The eyes are placed on the sides of the front segment, giving them poor frontal vision.

Its interior is made up of biofluids.

Behavior
It is often found in groups of five to seven at a time. While capable of hopping away from danger, it has a unique survival tactic when faced with a predator: it will expel a glowing pod of biofluid as it flees. This method is possibly used as either a distraction or a means to feed the predator without killing the individual. However, some had been observed to over-expel, which will result in the body itself splitting apart, and immediate death.
