They have extra jaw bits in their mouth that can liquidize their victims' heads when they consume them. They also have gills located on the side of their heads where blood expels through, with which they can exhale underground as well.

They have six legs: two fore legs, two back muscular legs with big shovel-like thick claws like rat mole claws to digs its way through the ground, and two less muscular legs on their chest, each with four sharp claws. On the back, they have a long sharp needle-like tail. The bones of the tail are bigger at the base and get smaller toward the tip.
