Red eyeye

A small herbivorous creature with poor maneuverability, evolved to inhabit high temperature environments.

1. Thermal Camouflage

Deep red and orange coloration enables this subspecies to blend into volcanic environments and reflect environmental thermal energy, thus rendering it almost invisible to most predators.

2. Thermal Vision

Delicate, light-based eyesight is impractical at these temperatures, and the red eyeye has developed thermal vision in its place. In this species' volcanic domain edible plant matter and potential predators are the coldest entities in range. Assessment: Edible (low calorie count)
