Creatures of TBR: Skroffin

Skroffin, meaning "digger" in varan, is a well-deserved name for this highly specialized scavenger. The upper jaw has taken on a shovel-like appearance, and is used just like one. Along with its remarkable sense of smell, the skroffin uses its snout to dig for food, cut roots, and lift rocks, and using its prehensile tongue it scoops up anything edible.
