It's Dyesel!
"They dig through the ground with the drills on their heads. Because of the special mucus coating their drills, the tunnels they dig end up just as multi-coloured."
#indiedev #indiegame #creaturecollector

A small brown circular creature with a star-nosed mole nose. The top of their head is a fat drill with four vibrant colours on it.
