The Gastronaut, a majestic herbivorous mollusk thriving within the expanse of the extra-planar realm known as the Well, captivates with its awe-inspiring presence. Comparable in size to a Cubble, this remarkable creature maneuvers with extraordinary climbing prowess, effortlessly navigating sheer cliff faces and stalactites in pursuit of its primary sustenance—moss. The denizens of the Well, recognizing the Gastronaut's unique talents, have ingeniously domesticated these creatures. Harnessing their climbing abilities, Gastronauts aid the locals in accessing inaccessible areas and maintaining vegetation around their dwellings. With a neck extending half its body length, Gastronauts expertly reach moss in the most secluded crevices or neighboring stalactites, ensuring no greenery goes unchecked. In the competitive world of Gastronauts, territorial disputes unfold with dramatic clashes of their elongated necks. Rivals engage in intense battles, the echoing thud of their necks colliding reverberating through the Well. The outcome is determined by the Gastronaut that manages to retain balance or outmaneuver its adversary, a spectacle both fearsome and captivating. Due to their slow speed, Gastronauts find themselves at the bottom of the food chain within the Well. Their defense mechanisms, however, provide a crucial advantage. The slimy, warty texture of their skin not only deters predators, making penetration difficult, but also leaves a disagreeable taste in the mouths of those attempting an attack. Mating season heralds an auditory marvel as Gastronauts release resonant mating calls that traverse the Well for miles. The haunting echoes resemble foghorns, creating a symphony that resonates through the land.

This CR1/8 creature is called a Gastronaut and is a Beast that lives mostly within the Well.
