The '''Quilled Wigglemaw''' split from its ancestor the [[Marocta]]. It moved into the open waters surrounding [[Rhodix Vents]]. Their frontmost and rearmost ribbon-like fins have changed into four short and highly mobile fins to allow the organism to more easily maneuver in its open water home. Meanwhile the other ribbon-like fins have changed into a selection of movement sensitive quills toward the rear of the body, to detect motion through the water, and to deter predators. The tips of the quills are dark and hardened.

The tips of the quills are dark and hardened.

The body is divided into two distinct pieces, the rear having a well-defined exoskeleton where the majority of the organs are located, and the front section which is mainly mouth, crop, and stomach and supported by flexible but firm semi-external and notochord-like structure of both living cells and cuticle. The supporting structure extends all the way to the front of the body where it rings the toothless mouth and provides an anchor point for the muscles that control the front fins, pincers, and eye nubs.
