Chopstick Waterworm

The chopstick waterworm split from its ancestor and now lives strictly at the surface. The beak now makes up almost half the worms length. They can live a solitary life, or in schools numbering near 1000 individual. Due to living only at the surface their spike has become shorter. Their undersides are silver to match the sky and water surface, and their backs are orange and brown to match the water bed.

They eat mainly soft things floating near the surface, including shroom spores, bits of plant, and dead 'soft bodied fish'. Their beaks are also equipped with a complex of ridges and bristles used to sepperate microbes and water. They are very docile and often mingle with schooling waterworms, although they swim slower.
