The '''antler urchip''' replaced its ancestor the [[Chambered Urchip|chambered urchip]]. Its shell has now developed into an antler shape that mimics the [[Antler Shrubite|antler shrubite]] it eats, and now specializes in consuming this one species of [[shrubite]]. Its chambers are now longer and can hold more water. It has developed siphons on each side to take water in and then squirt them out. They also have a special pouch inside them that will hold eggs without disrupting locomotion. Once they hatch they are squirted out the siphons. The main shell is neutrally buoyant with a [[Wikipedia:Gas bladder|swim bladder]]-like chamber than can be filled via the siphons (note that this is a separate chamber than the egg chamber). Like their ancestors it has a beak that produces acidic saliva to dissolve the antler shrubite so it can slurp it up like a straw. |
