Stretchysnake

This is a new elastozoan concept I envisioned when I was sketching possible inhabitants of the small island of Turtil, northwest of Midland.

This fellow lies flat on the trunks of trees or wraps around their limbs due to their elastic body. When they see prey, they slither and stretch closer until they quickly ensnare them with their toothed oral tentacles and quickly shove them in their mouth.

For those who don't know what elastozoans are, here is an unused image featuring two species of them:
