Intelligence / Behaviour: Stimulus Response. Subconscious Functions. Body Movement Control. Tiredness = rest. Hunger hormones = move around. Pain = move away. Adult = Release mating hormones. Mating hormones = move. Mating hormones + own species chemicals = reproduce. Move signal in water = hyponome boost and paddle with fan tail. Move signal against a surface = peristalsis. ??? = move towards, impale with beak.

External Features: It has a cylindrical body. The skin has blue irridiphore pigmentation. It has a mouth with a sharp beak and around it are a few chemoreceptors. On the side of the head is two pairs of camera eyes with aragonite lenses that moves like a camera with a blind spot. The rear of the body has a fan tail and below that a hyponome.

Internal Features: It has a hemocoel carrying blue blood caused by hemocyanin. An anti-freeze xylomannan fatty acid and polysaccharide is in the blood. The body is supported by a hydrostatic skeleton. It has gonads and a protonephridium. There is a enclosed, one-chambered oily swim bladder in the dorsal side. There is a monogastric digestive system. A gland releases a foul fluid into the body fluids. Ganglia in the head lead into a dual dorsal nerve cord that has many nerves branching off.

Reproduction: Sexual Reproduction. External Fertilisation. 1,000 eggs per spawning.

Castes/Phases: Hermaphroditism.

Locomotion: Active (20NP). Paddling, Hyponome Boosting. Peristalsis.

Monogastric Digestive System (19NP, +1 Meat Digestion, +1 Veg Protein Digestion, +1 Immunity, +Solid Excretion). Foul Fluid Gland (7NP, +Foul Taste). Centralised Nervous System (19NP, +2 Coordination, +Stimulus Response, +Subconscious Functions, +Body Movement Control).

## Hastella glaucus

Latest Mutations: Bigger

This little planktonic worm-like animal hunts smaller zooplankton with it's sharp beak. It's lives throughout the upper reaches of the tropical ocean, from the surface to 500m below, and is itself prey for other small animals.

Status: Unlisted

Habitat: Tropical Ocean

Niche: Predator, Opportunistic Scavenger

Diet: Any fresh meat it can get.

Size: 2cm (length - beak to tail)

Nutritional Need: 148 x 2/100 = 3NP

Food / Oxygen Requirement: 3 x 0.25 = 0.8NP per round (Needs to intake 0.8/0.6 = 1.3NP per round) / 3NP

Abilities: Anti-Freeze. Exothermic. Foul Taste. Small-Body Circulation. Liquid Excretion. Low Pressure Tolerance. Osmoconformer (High Salinity). Permeable Skin. Solid Excretion. Subzero Metabolism.

Perception: Sight 2 (Clear sight for 5m from the side, monocular vision). Chemoreception 1 (detects chemicals 1m from mouth).

Stats: Buoyancy 1 Adjustable). Coordination 2. Digestion 1 (100% Meat, Digests 60%). Immunity 2. Filtration 0. Pierce Strength 1. Respiration 1 (Cutaneous Respiration). Sharpness 1. Stamina 2. Strength 1. Support 1. Swim Speed 1.5. Swim Stability 1. Tunnelling 1. UV Resistance 2. Walk Speed 0.5.

Intelligence / Behaviour: 1. Hungry > Search for food. 2. Food > Attack with beak. 3. Tired > Rest. 4. Pain > Move away. 5. Maturity > Reproduce, laying eggs in the egg of another animal.

External Features: The skin contains blue melanin pigmentation. The head has a sharp beak on the mouth and chemoreceptors. On the side of the head is a pair of camera eyes with aragonite lenses that moves like a camera and with a blind spot. At the other end of the tubular body is an anal fin, a fan tail and a hyponome.

Internal Features: Glands secrete a foul fluid on the outside of the body. In most of the body's cells is a small amount of piezolytes and also lysozymes. Throughout the centre of the body is the hemacoel, which has blood containing anti-freeze xylomannan fatty acid and polysaccharide and hemocyanin - meaning it is blue-green, around which a hydrostatic skeleton exists. The protonephridium connects the hemacoel with a pore to the outside. Another line of features is the gastrointestinal tract, starting from the throat and leading to a stomach chamber, followed by intestines. It is connected to a one-chambered swim bladder and ends with the anus. It has a pair of gonads. Two nerve cords, starting from the brain, run down the dorsal side and branch out into a network of nerves across the whole body.

Reproduction: Sexual. 1,000 eggs per spawning. External Fertilisation.

Castes/Phases: None.
