Cybermat-Shaped Forest Creature

A small, metallic creature resembling a cybermat slithers through the undergrowth, its segmented body moving with unnatural precision. Its silver hide glints in the filtered sunlight as lianas coil around it, reacting to some unseen command. Though no mechanical parts are visible, the fluidity of its motion suggests artificial enhancement rather than natural origin. Leela reacts to its presence with primal fear, recognizing it as sentient but alien to her forest home.
