A crustacean with four identical legs, a pair of powerful pincers and stylelike appendages at the end of the abdomen. The horncher gets its name from the horn shell which its carapace resembles. It is known to collapse its body under its legs, lie motionless, in wait for an unknowing prey to pass. Hornchers are found mainly around the lake lands and in the Prime Roots.
