I'm curious as to the purpose of their venom. Is it purely a defense? With it being that lethal, it seems like they would be some kind of carnivore. (Also, what do they use those appendages for?)

It's purely for defense. They just stab you and run like hell, then the poison sets in and paralyses you for who knows how long, it only causes infections and everything else if you don't clean it out. I got the venom idea from platypus [link]
And It said somewhere on there their trunks are used for picking things up and for digging round for grubs and the like, also for catching small animals. Their mouth is located in a weird spot on their skull so they use their trunks similar to elephants.

Or scavengers. Reminds me of komodo dragons, actually, except it's poison, not bacteria.
