Codowecoi

## Codowecoi fyuxuul

Status: LC

Timespan: R.53 - Present

Habitat\_: Deep Ocean

Distribution: Uteenessa Ocean

Niche: Apex Predator, Minor Predator

Nutritional Value: 11

Size: 3.5cm

Predecessor: Fosdelus gelida

Classification: Codowecoidae, Codowecoidea, Aquamusculida

Latest Mutations: Water Propulsion = 4, Improve photoreceptors = 5, Improve muscles = 6

Description: This species is very widespread across the floor of the deep oceans and the temperate shallow seas, where it has substrate to burrow into, which it can now do thanks to it's hydrostatic skeleton; this is formed of circular and longitudinal muscles surrounding the body which contains water. The muscles contracting on the water of the body creates a form of locomotion. Added to this is a muscular tube, with an opening at the rear, called a hyponome. Water flows into this gap, then is expelled by the contraction of these muscles, creating a burst of speed. All in all, including the fins that it still retains, this is a relatively quick animal, although it's form of locomotion restricts it to the seabed. It also has three cup eyes on its head, which are only useful in shallow sea populations, so it can tell the direction of light, and if the light gets blocked this can serve as a threat warning. When threatened by predators it can escape by burrowing into the substrate. Due to the hydrostatic skeleton requiring more manoeuvrability, it has lost its scales.

## Codowecoi rishie

Status: LC

Timespan: R.76 - Present

Habitat\_: Deep Ocean, Continental Slope (Mid Ocean)

Distribution: Below Temperate and Tropical Uteenessa Ocean, Below 500m

Niche: Major Predator

Nutritional Value: 19

Size: 4.25cm

Predecessor: Codowecoi fyuxuul

Classification: Codowecoidae, Codowecoidea, Aquamusculidia

Latest Mutations: Improve Chemoreceptors, Bigger

Info: This is the apex predator of the ocean floor, from pole to pole. It cannot swim, but it is speedy and can burrow quickly through the sediment, charging towards prey and impaling it with its beak. It detects prey for tens of metres with its chemoreceptors.

Description: It has a blue, cylindrical body supported by a hydrostatic skeleton composed of strong, longitudinal muscles. At the front, the characteristic sharp beak protrudes from a proboscis with chemoreceptors. There are three cup eyes facing up. A muscular siphon at the rear propels out water. Inside their body, they have a simple gut leading to an anus, a stomach containing digestive carnivorous bacteria, a nerve network and small bunch of ganglia, and an open circulatory system filled with blue-green hemacoel. Anti-freeze proteins flow through the hemacoel.

## Codowecoi abyssusverandix

Status: LC

Timespan: R.84 - Present

Habitat\_: Mid Ocean, Deep Ocean

Distribution: All Deep Ocean & Continental Slope,

Minimum depth is 500m

Niche: Predator

Nutritional Value: 28.8

Size: 6.4cm (length)

Predecessor: Codowecoi rishie

Classification: Codowecoidae, Codowecoidea, Aquamusculidia

Latest Mutations: Improved Chemoreceptors, Bigger

Info: This is the apex predator of the ocean floor, from pole to pole, very similar to most other Codowecoi species although slightly larger. It cannot swim, but it is speedy and can burrow quickly through the sediment, charging towards prey and impaling it with its beak. It detects prey for over a hundred metres with its chemoreceptors, further than its predecessor.
