Crawling Snark

The crawling snark split from the Snark. Unlike its ancestor, it has evolved purple spots that allow it to blend in within the Reefballs, which it crawls around in. In order to become more sly, its fins are able to act like feet and allow it to crawl around the floor. It has also evolved a second set of gill-nostrils, which allow it to take in more oxygen. As an adult, it hunts young Beach Shrotter and Kingskwid. However, as a baby, it eats King Foi and Coastal Whorls. However both adults and young enjoy rotting flesh. Its eyes have also moved to the top, which allows it to look above the surface of the water for prey.

The crawling snark still hunts and lives alone much like its ancestor. The only time they meet is when they are mating. After mating, the male leaves and the female digs a small burrow underneath Reefballs. Then it lays huge, slimy clusters of eggs, which are taken care of until they hatch. After they hatch, the young immediately leave, the ones that stay behind are often eaten by the mother. As they grow, they face many predators including adult Beach Shrotters and other crawling snarks. On a side note, all crawling snark's spots are unique.
