MI Stuff- Sifter (Patreon)

A generally gentle animal that exists only to mine for various substances, which it carries in a flexible stomach. A central beak and a spade-like claw breaks through softer rock or hardened clays, and sensitive tentacles sort through the rubble. 

Normally not great at fighting due to their stubby and not-terribly-well-developed back legs and complete lack of eyesight, but sometimes duty calls!
