Martian life: The Low by Otter14

This magnificent creature, has recently been found on Mars. This strange creature was found when a scientist [called Fin] was mining a sort of iron ore and it just walked by; we saw it suck up loads of iron ore with his big nose. When he made eye contact with the scientist, it jumped up in the low gravity and blew out scorching hot air out of his four legs. This species is extremely rare and dangerous. DO NOT APPROACH ALONE!!!

It has a boiling hot volcano resting on its back. They have a phobia of humans and anything that is not from their planet. When its volcano is full with lava, it glows. At night, its lava also glows so the creature can see: it can’t see in the dark. It has no tail because if lava spills on him / her it will set its tail on fire; but, if it spills it on its skin, it will not hurt: its skin is rock solid.

This species will survive for as long as it wants to as long as his lava keeps on going. Also, if it is ill it will go to a volcano and find as many flammable things [e.g. coal, Mars wood, etc.] to make its lava stronger to get it more healthy. The female has a smaller volcano on her back, so that the males can show off to the females. They sleep in the day time so that its lava is not that visible; it will sleep near a volcano so it can camouflage.

Also, they have big ears so that they can hear if anyone [of their own species] is in danger. It eats space bugs and space bunnies to get more nutrition. Moreover, it sucks up all of the iron ore from the floor so that it can get more nutrition; it also makes his or her skin harder as it makes the scales stronger. If it is scared, it will jump up in the low gravity and blast hot air out of his four hooves so it can zoom away from predators: it is normally slow because of its very heavy volcano.
