Creatures. Everywhere. The Yrb did not know where they came from, only that they were death given flesh. There was no time to retreat, no time to hide; no time for anything before death was upon them. Only a few Yrbles escaped the carnage, managing to return to the heartlands and warn their brethren.
In the months to follow, each and every Yrble was fully occupied with one thing: finding a way to beat back the approaching horde. Eventually, two ideas were settled on, both of which hinged on developing new 'organs.' One involved somehow lighting large stretches of forest whenever the creatures approached, since they only ever came at night and seemed to dislike the sun. The other was based on finding a way to emit sleeping gas in order to incapacitate the horde, after which they could be slowly consumed by the Yrb's normal digestive process. Sleeping gas was not unknown to the Yrb: there was, in fact, a species of animal in the forest which used a similar method to deter predators.
It was the general consensus among the Yrb that both methods were possible: after all, they had managed to create arrangements of neural colonies which allowed them to sense things they had never dreamed of. Surely this could be accomplished as well?
Attempt to develop bioluminescence and the ability to release sleeping gas.
