Intelligence / Behaviour: 1. Hungry > Search for food. 2. Food > Attack with teeth. 3. Tired > Rest. 4. Pain > Wriggle away. 5. Maturity > Reproduce.

External Features: The skin of the elongated body contains sandy-brown pigments and is coated in chaetae. It has a wide mouth with sharp teeth, which is surrounded by chemoreceptors. The head has a single pinhole eye and behind the head are gill slits.

Internal Features: Cells contain lysozymes and piezolytes. Blood vessels circulate around, helped by a heart, and the blood contains anti-freeze substances. The head houses a cartilage jaw. There is a muscular system and a stomach that leads to intestines. Ganglion in the head connect to a nerve cord. There is also a nephridium.
