The migrating finworm split from its ancestor, the bubbleweed sea finworm. It now migrates from the Huggs Coast all the way up the Huggs and Bone Rivers to Huggs Lakes where it spawns its eggs in the mud and dies. Once the eggs hatch they will eat the river flashbud until they are adults. Once adults they will migrate to the Huggs Coast where they will eat the flash bud. Its camouflage and 12 eyes give it an advantage over the moss-eating sea finworm in Huggs Coast and thus replaced them there. However the moss-eating sea finworm still survive on Huggs Island Coast.
Like its ancestor its body very hydrodynamic. To swim fast, it will do fish-like movements and put its wings close to the body and joined over its back, moving them backward, and thus cutting the water like a blade. The wings are partially fused, improving the movement. When feeling threatened, they can swim really fast and go to surface, doing short glides over the water, opening the wings. This also helps them when they are migrating upstream against the strong river currents and waterfalls. The flight ability was lost, since their wings are thinker and heavier than before.
