The boojum, in stark contrast to the crawling snark, is very communal and live in small pods of 5-8 individuals. They are fiercely defensive and protective of not only their own pod but neighboring pods as well. This is helpful in protecting from the occasional [[Harpoon Brownble|harpoon brownble]] attack. Although they are communal creatures, they are still territorial and will attack any unknown wander boojums that enters into a pods territory that disrupts it's hunting. Swamp boojum rarely get above 1.5 meters in length while river boojum will routinely get to 2 meters in length. Some river boojum individuals have reached almost 3 meters in size, although rarely. Young boojum are vulnerable to the cannibalistic tendencies of crawling snarks, as well as occasionally being prey to an adult beach shrotter.
The dorsal sail is a unique adaptation that allows for greater maneuverability in the water, it also acts as a "solar collector" that helps maintain the boojum's internal body temperature at comfortable levels. This allows the boojum to spend most of
