'''Bendohves''' probe tidepools for scuttlers and the beach for hidden eggs. Their elongated beaks help them do this. If they need to dig more deeply, they bend over or crouch in a humanlike fashion. Their propensity for bending over while feeding gives them their name.

Bendohves do not have especially keen senses. Consequently, they are not often the first to arrive at a carcass, which necessitates ways to acquire its take of the food. Due to their greater height, bendohves may succeed in scaring roofbacks and occasionally young, small stride saucebacks from their carrion, and even their kills. If bendohves have difficulty scaring the others predators off, they will repeatedly make vertical jumps. They can do this because a bendohve's leg structure, thighs aside, are similar to that of a human.

Bendohves eat sapworms, but only when they are swarming. Bendohves run through the massive swarm, snapping their beaks with humorous frequency. This behavior is very similar to that of an Earth seagull feeding on Lake Alkali flies.
