About the game
Pulling its way through the cavernous intestines of the Belly of the Beast, the massive Gastral Tyrant hunts for prey, collecting intruders to feed to its nested eggs! With its long, spiny arms, and twisting, ribbed body, this monstrous creature can dominate even the largest chambers within the Beast! First paralyzing its targets with a vicious venom, the Gastral Tyrant dissolves their bodies, regurgitating the nutrient rich sludge onto its hatching clusters of gelatinous eggs. —description from the publisher
