Info: Sitting out on top of the seafloor makes a vulnerable situation, but Entaops produces a toxin that temporarily paralyses any predators that take a bite. It small oral tentacles to help it gather in more food from its position on the floor.

Anatomy: It has a blue, worm-like body of a hydrostatic skeleton, with a proboscis, covered in chemoreceptors. Oral tentacles surround the mound. It has four pinhole eyes, two at the front and one on each side. At the end of the body is a hyponome. It has a pool of bitter chemicals inside and a stomach of carnivorous digestive enzymes in the gut. It has an open circulatory system and a basic nervous system. It produces a paralysing toxin.

Behaviour: This species is capable of processing information gathered from sense receptors and using that to form a picture of its surroundings. It can then respond to stimuli. It also has basic reasoning.

External Features: The skin contains blue melanin pigmentation. The head has two whorls of cirri around the mouth and chemoreceptors. On the side of the head are two pairs of pinhole eyes. At the other end of the tubular body is a hyponome.

Internal Features: Glands secrete a foul fluid contains a neurotoxin 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 single-chamber 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 spawn. External Fertilisation. Asexual Budding.

Castes/Phases: None.

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