Narky

The narky has replaced the snowky in the LadyM Open Ocean. They now live in pods of 5-10 members, so they are safe from predators that dare to eat them. Males have a long tooth, like an Earth narwhal, and they are used to fight for mating rights and dominance. Males also have brown spots on their backs. Females have a shorter tooth, and they have only small spots. Narkies feed on plankton in the .5 millimeters and 4 centimeters range. This includes organisms such as swarmers, and large microbes such as tankargus. A slit developed near the mouth to strain the water out, and then the plankton is swallowed.

During mating, males secrete sperm in the water, and the female will absorb it with her skin. The sperm will travel in the hemocoel, until they reach the ovaries to fertilize the eggs. Females now retain the eggs in the womb until they hatch. There are only two eggs. They will be able to filter microbes from the water, and they stay with their mothers for five years. To improve breathing in the water, they evolved external gills located posteriorly.
