Renderfend (Ren'der'fend)

Renderfends are creatures that resemble a cross between a bird and a seal with vibrant zebran like patterns with a beak and feather possessing a nebulal-like pattern. They are normally found in areas with large quantities of discarded metal such as scrapyards, mecha graveyards, or ship burials. Renderfends' main form of diet is digesting the metal of scrap and ship hull into minerals by transforming them into a large cloud to break down the metal components into a digestible mist. They also turn into cloud when they are threatened by predators and they rely on their cloud forms as a means of self-preservation from physical attacks. Renderfend spends a lot of energy to transform into their cloud form in order to avoid being eaten or harmed.   Due to the fact they ingest a lot of minerals, they have a natural hovering ability that allows them to 'swim' in the air off sand due to magnetic polarity and it helps to move their large bodies around without too much hassle.    When they sleep, they would fold up into clam-like shells that are their hind legs and turn into an obsidian pod in the shape of a watermelon seed the size of a shoebox. They are harmless to humans and biological creatures but they could be a hassle for beings that are androids or have large quantities of metal on their bodies such as armor, weapons, or prosthetics as they will mistakenly eat at it with their cloud bodies.
