Descendant of Ancestor of

The purioister split from it's ancestor, residing in the deeper levels of the LadyM Ocean. Its locomotion has changed: it uses its fan-arms like propellers, spinning slowly downwards. Once it has fallen about 1 m, it uses its paddle-like lower limbs to move upwards, using this time to feed on what has been caught in its fans. Other than this change, it is the same as its ancestor.
