Description: The Culverin is a corporeal creature with a very limited
geographical range (possibly unique).
The only known specimen was encountered as a guard (or possibly pet) of
a human; it does not seem to be an active danger to humanity in general, and
indeed may be amenable to cooperation with specific Heavenly objectives. It attacks by shooting pebbles from its
mouth at high speeds. This is probably
its primary method of gathering food, which would suggest that it is at least
an insectivore. Its life cycle and
reproductive habits are unknown.
