Question

Willis McNelly documented how these creatures produced a cinnamic acid-derived biopolymer that appears deep blue. A larval form of these creatures act like leeches and are named for resembling trout. Bile expelled by these creatures (10[1])as they drown in water is ingested in a ritual to become a Reverend Mother. (10[2])These creatures are impaled with Maker Hooks after (10[1])they are (10[1])attracted (10[2])using an egg-shaped thumper. These creatures, which are called Shai-Hulud and are ridden (10[1])by Fremen, (10[1])guard a psychedelic fungusoid nicknamed spice.
