Habitat: Shallow Sea, Ocean Surface

Distribution: Northern Temperate and Polar

Niche: Major Predator, Minor Predator

Nutritional Value: 17

Size: 3.25cm

Predecessor: Euskulus koalazk

Classification: Codowecoidae, Codowecoidea, Aquamusculidia

Latest Mutations: Smaller, Fins, Swim Bladder

Info: This tiny, pelagic predator preys on planktonic animals, such as Pictolexipotus. It swims by undulating its end with fins, but this cancels out the speed the hydrostatic skeleton would give it as this requires a surface.

Description: It has a blue, worm-like body of a hydrostatic skeleton, with a proboscis, covered in chemoreceptors, and a very sharp beak. It has four pinhole eyes, two at the front and one on each side. At the end of the body is a pair of fins and a hyponome. It has a pool of bitter chemicals inside, a swim bladder and a stomach of carnivorous digestive enzymes in the gut. It has an open circulatory system and a basic nervous system.

## Elinopterus oviphagus

Latest Mutations: Smaller

One of the more obscure and unnoticeable species of the ocean is Elinopterus oviphagus, a mere 2.5mm long as an adult. Most animals barely notice it because of its small size and the fact that it's a weak hunter. It preys upon the eggs of other animals, which are unable to escape and small enough to not entice other predators but provide enough nutrition for its tiny body. Its beak seems a prime tool for this, impaling easily through the thin membrane that surrounds an egg.

Status: Unlisted

Habitat: Tropical Shallows, Tropical Upper Ocean

Niche: Egg-Eater

Nutritional Need: (122NP/10) x 0.25/10 = 0.3NP

Intelligence / Behaviour: Processes information and responds based on fixed behaviours. When observing a predator; roll up. When hungry; look for prey. When ready to reproduce, look for other adults and move towards them, then attempt to mate with the source.

External Features: Blue structural colouration gives the the cylindrical body a metallic, blue sheen. This covers the skin. The mouth has a sharp keratin beak and also has nearby chemoreceptors. On the side and front of the head are two pairs of pinhole eyes. The body ends in a fan tail, and below this is a hyponome.

Internal Features: An open circulatory system transports blue blood efficiently around the body. Anti-freeze glycoproteins circulate in the body fluids. A nephridium funnels out chemical waste and expels it through a pore. The body is supported by a hydrostatic skeleton. From the mouth, a tube leads to the stomach, then into the intestines and finally to the anus. A brain in the head connects to a nerve cord, which itself is connected to nerves like rungs of a ladder. In the centre of the body is an oily swim bladder, while below can be found testes and an ova. Throughout the whole body seeps a bitter fluid.
