Until recently, the decotitus was classified as a soulkin, naturalists believing the crystalline formations about its body to be the source of its animation. This hypothesis has since been abandoned, scholars now understanding that the formations are a naturally occurring phenomenon, resulting from the creature’s ingestion of massive quantities of soil and minerals affixed to the roots of the plants that make up its diet.
