Sub-Species

Jeganei Miat

Bark Jeganei
1.5-2.5 kilograms (3-6 pounds) 10-20 centimetres (4-8 inches) shell and 20-30 centimetres (8-12 inches) tentacles.
The jeganei miat is a common scavenger found in jungles, and swamps of Waejir. With a rough textured shell resembling a large pine cone, these creatures are fairly well hidden when resting. However when seeking food their long bright blue dark spotted tentacles make them quite noticeable.

Jeganei Umel

Mud Jeganei
3.5-5 kilograms (8-12 pounds), 20-35 centimetres (8-14 inches) shell, and 30-50 centimetre (12-20 inches) tentacles.
Smoother shelled, and coloured to blend into their surroundings, this species of Jeganei is found in and around fresh water in plains, and marshes.
