Imprisoned Wolley

The imprisoned wolley replaced its ancestor in the Colddigger Polar Coast due to there being too much competition for the wolley to handle. Unlike its ancestor, the imprisoned wolley has a very different diet than its ancestor; the imprisoned wolley feeds off the blood of the different trapinouts with its sucker mouth.

The imprisoned wolley gets its name because of how it can parasitize a trapinout within its shell. In order to get inside their shells and stay hidden, the imprisoned wolley is almost half the size of its ancestor. It is also much simpler in design than its ancestor, which allows it to slip right in with minimal obstruction. The imprisoned wolley has also evolved highly specialized toe pads that contain numerous setae that allow it to hang on to trapinouts and make it difficult to remove them.

In order to get around, they tend to hitchhike on droopgea trapinouts that float out to sea. Otherwise, they tunnel underneath the sandy ocean floor and seek out any trapinouts nearby.

When it is time for them to mate, the female imprisoned wolley crawls out of its host enough so that males can spot them out. While the imprisoned wolley has only one large glow spot on its tail, the imprisoned wolley's eyes are able to see far distances and seek out any sources of light. Once the males spot the females, it is an arms race to see which one reaches the female first. They not only race towards the female, but they also bite other males to keep them from mating with the female. Once a male has reached a female, they mate and the female releases its eggs into the male's mouth. Then the male drops them to a suitable carcass on the seafloor, where the young will feed and grow.
