Swamp Hunter

The Swamp Hunter split from the stumpworm sucker. It migrated to the Icthy Swamp. It is the apex predator of the swamp. The swamp hunter's front claws become serrated so it can hold onto prey, and the back claws become two-digited for better walking on land. Inside the thigh, there is a fluid-filled sac to provide attachment points for leg muscles. It's proboscis is shaped like an arrow. It now only has three fins. It can live both on land and water. When in water, the tail-grasper moves up and down and the hind legs are tucked in. It tries to swim fast in hope of catching an archer silverling. Otherwise it can hunt down a twelve-winged worm like a mantis. The tail-grasper no longer serves a grasping purpose, but the Swamp Hunter is always erect when walking on land, as the tail is used for balance.
