The bleedin waterworm split from its ancestor and now is a more generalized parasite, it feeds on the larger gilltails of the Jujubee Polar Sea. It digs its head into the flesh of their host usually around the open parts of the gills, often they will wriggle into the gills themselves. The beak is now a pair of needle-like growths used to puncture, bury, and hook into their host. Their fins are now also needle and hook-like. They normally embed their entire heads into their host. They bury their eggs in the sand, when hatched the larva float through the water until they come in contact with the flesh of, or pulled into the gills of, a gilltail host.
