The hallucigillia shares a common ancestor with the gillaysheaia, the gillpedes that strayed too far from Nemo Midnight Sea Mount. They became small predators that feed on small, soft-bodied, bottom-dwelling global genus fauna. They use their elongated tentacles to grab their prey and tear it apart. If it cannot tear it apart, the hallucigillia will instead bite it with its primitive, radial jaw. The jaw is filled with small, sharp teeth made of the same materials as its claws and spines. The jaw is little more than a sphincter that forces the teeth into its prey. Its feelers have grown larger and have developed claws to aid them in walking on the sea floor. The spikes on its back protect it from predators. They also are gray to blend in with Nemo Polar Shallows' gray sand. They have developed small, simple eyes on its upper pair of tentacles. These eyes can only distinguish light from dark, so they are only useful for detecting predators above them. They will lay their eggs in small pits that they create with their elongated tentacles. The young look like smaller versions of their parents and use their elongated tentacles to dig their way out of the pit.
