Splitting from their ancestor, the '''sea glider''' has become a better swimmer than its ancestor. Typically appearing to almost float through the water, they slowly move about, their mouth tentacles extending nearly a 2 cm beneath it when it is ready to feed. Should a suitable prey swim into it, they will be stung repeatedly before being dragged up towards its mouth in order to be devoured. Solitary organisms, they have evolved fins to aid in their maneuverability and now release numerous eggs instead of spores with every mating ritual it performs with its partners. They can live to be nearly five years old before eventually succumbing to old age.

Further evolutionary advances include their bioelectric sensing organs now being located on the ends of stalks, thus increasing their overall range of "sight". Another evolutionary trait is the advancement of their respiratory system which is now enclosed by plating along their tails and a spine to keep predators away from their delicate feathery gill exit. They have developed a minor toxin in their organs which can cause nausea if eaten in large amounts. This helps them to survive alongside their ability to produce large amounts of young.
