Paya

A Paya, also known as a Dirthole or Wormwoad, is a mysterious creature that can harm Fountains. They can be made of any kind of dirt or even stone, which are much harder to destroy. Nobody knows how they came to be, but they are often seen rising spontaneously from the ground.

Biology
They appear like a cube-shaped dogu. They have two 90 degree arms on their side, two eye holes, and a mouth. Inside the mouth is a series of spinning blades/teeth. There may be small bumps on any of its surface. Paya are capable of hovering and do not breathe, allowing them to hunt Fountains in any environment.

Hunting Habits
A Paya may actively hunt a Fountain by floating close to it and then sucking in their water, simultaneously depriving them of their water body and restricting their movement. When doing so they may hunt in swarms, making it more difficult for a single Fountain to defend themselves. Others simply lie in wait at the bottom of bodies of water, creating small but powerful whirlpools that look like a small spinning ripple on the surface that are called "ghostholes", waiting for an unsuspecting Fountain to come into contact with the suction and swiftly pull them down into their maw.
