Pineco
Gold

It likes to make its shell thicker by adding layers of tree bark. The additional weight doesn't bother it.

Silver

It hangs and waits for flying insect prey to come near. It does not move about much on its own.

Crystal

It spits out a fluid that it uses to glue tree bark to its body. The fluid hardens when it touches air.
