{{transcript|Steeliprax hide in the grass during the day, but they're quite active at night, gathering food to turn into pellets.

These pellets seem to be enveloped in a membrane that seals and preserves them in a sterile, airtight environment. If kept at room temperature, this pellet membrane seems to keep its contents from spoilage for up to six months. I also believe that the membrane is made from the same substance that gives the exoskeleton of the steeliprax its beautiful appearance.|block=y}}
