Within the warm waters off of Fermi Island, the descendants of the [[Marine Bubblepede|marine bubblepede]] have flourished, giving rise to the '''clawbiter'''. Larger and bulkier than its ancestor, the clawbiter has taken to a nocturnal existence, burying itself in the sand so as to avoid predation. To aid it in this, it has evolved small patches of light-sensitive cells along its "face", as well as bioluminescent patches that they flash to both communicate and startle potential predators. Their larva, once developed enough, will also congregate around these light-producing patches, not unlike moths to the flame. Other than this, they have not differed all that much from their ancestors in terms of habits and breeding.

Within the warm waters off of Fermi Island, the descendants of the marine bubblepede have flourished, giving rise to the clawbiter. Larger and bulkier than its ancestor, the clawbiter has taken to a nocturnal existence, burying itself in the sand so as to avoid predation. To aid it in this, it has evolved small patches of light-sensitive cells along its "face", as well as bioluminescent patches that they flash to both communicate and startle potential predators. Their larva, once developed enough, will also congregate around these light-producing patches, not unlike moths to the flame. Other than this, they have not differed all that much from their ancestors in terms of habits and breeding.
