[edit] Brief description
Wig-wigs are small furry orange balls that appear harmless at first glance, but they have large mouths full of disproportionately large teeth. Having no visible arms or legs, Wig-wigs travel by bouncing their bodies along the ground, and they have a surpising turn of speed. Although they are voracious eaters, it is unclear where the food goes as it seems as though their bodies are not large enough to include large stomachs. It has been hypothesised that they may have a very fast digestive system or metabolism.
[edit] Behavioral characteristics
Although weak on their own, they travel and hunt in huge numbers, making it impossible for even the most powerful and ferocious creatures to defeat them. Wig-wigs can easily out-run many animals, using their teeth to latch on to the legs and back of the prey, slowing it down until it can go no further. They will eat every part of an animal, including fur and bone, wasting nothing. It has been mentioned that Wig-wigs don't need to drink water. They are unable to climb trees.
