Mega-arthropod, possibly bio-modified

 

Ticks are large, carnivorous mega-Cetoniinae presumed to be native to Tau Ceti IV. Their current form and behavior may be a result of colony-era research.[1]

Behavior[edit]

Ticks are highly aggressive. They gestate in large fleshy communal nests, which they defend by rushing any perceived threats and exploding in a caustic, super-heated mess.[2]
