Seaswimmers: Difference between revisions

Seaswimmers are creatures of the kingdom [[Carpozoa]] descended from the [[Speartooth Seaswimmer]]. Seaswimmers in general bear several similarities to Snakes on [[Wikipedia:Earth|Earth]], but pursue a solely aquatic existence.

Seaswimmers have no limbs, like their [[limbless]] ancestors, and thus move by rippling their body. All seaswimmers have a forward-projecting tooth, used to stab at prey or in territorial fights. In some, this tooth has become a horn located farther up the head. They possess three eyes and four snorkel-like nostrils, and have a fluke at the end of their tails.

Some species of seaswimmers, such as the [[vicious seaswimmer]], are pack hunters, but others hunt alone or in pairs.

Seaswimmers still breathe air, and so need to surface ever so often to breathe. Like all carpozoans, seaswimmers have red, iron-based blood.

All seaswimmers are carnivores, but hunt a wide range of prey due to their disparate niches.

All seaswimmers are descended from the [[speartooth seaswimmer]], itself descended from the [[slender spotted limbless]]. The first seaswimmers frequently ventured back onto land, but some, such as the [[emperor seaswimmer]], have adapted to become nearly fully aquatic.

All seaswimmers swim by rippling their bodies in a serpentine fashion.

Seaswimmers reproduce sexually with two genders, and they give birth to live young. Most seaswimmers have to return to land to give birth, but a few species have adapted to give birth at sea.

Seaswimmers have three pairs of eyes, like their limbless ancestors.

Most seaswimmers are around 50-170 centimeters (.5 to 1.7 meters) in length, but one species, the [[Tumor Seaswimmer]], has grown massive through shallows gigantism.
