Jet Worm

The Jet Worm split from it’s ancestor. In the populated Somarinoa Coast, it was easily caught by predators so it evolved a way to escape. It’s fins have grown smaller (as predators usually went for these to catch it) and at the base of each fin, pores have opened up. The worm sucks sea water into these pores that are connected to channels that lead to the segments of it’s abdomen. The channels are impermeable to water, preventing water lose to the salty sea water. The worm controls when and where the sea water is released from these pores, using them only when it needs to escape from a predator quickly. The result is the water is used as a jet to propel the worm away from harm.

It attaches it’s eggs to the bubbleweed. It’s eggs are coloured purple for camouflage. It’s tail has changed slightly because it doesn’t use it as much for movement through the water. It's eyes have grown flat to help it's streamlined- shape.
