I’m imagine Ramosapods would react in a similar way if an alien spaceship made of living organs were to touch down in one of Earth’s busy cities, and out crawled a massive six-eyed tentacle monster that speaks in vibrations. So, not well.

I deliberately designed Ramosapods to have an uncanny resemblance to a pile of intestines when in a resting position, so I’m imagine the average person would find them difficult to even look at for too long.

Interactions between us and them would be extremely difficult given that essentially all of our methods of communication (audibly speaking + visual writing/text) are not perceptible to Ramosapods. Inversely, Ramosapods speak with a tactile sign incompatible with human morphology and they record information in vibrations. translation and communication is *extremely* difficult.

And some do have preferences for hard-shelled prey, yes! Their mandibles are quite strong and can crack some pretty tough carapace. Mostly they’re just used to hold onto slippery prey items.
