Altopod (Venator Elevata, a.k.a Elevated Hunter; also referred to as Pod Crab) were a species of decapod crustaceans indigenous to the southern shores of Niex-Nor. Altopod were known for aimlessly striding the shores of Niex-Nor throughout their entire lives, in hunt of easy prey. Although unable to survive underwater for extended periods of time, they were known to let their head mass to float on the surface of the shoreline, as their claws would snap at nearby prey.

Altopod were know to grow to up to three feet tall, and weigh up to sixty-five pounds. Altopod usually featured a metallic-black coloration, attracting local starlight to their cold-blooded bodies.
