==Anatomy==
Seaswimmers have no limbs, like their [[Limblesses|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.

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

Line 22:
==Evolution==
All seaswimmers are descended from the [[Speartooth Seaswimmer|speartooth seaswimmer]], itself descended from the [[Slender Spotted Limbless|slender spotted limbless]]. The first seaswimmers frequently ventured back onto land, but some, such as the [[Emperor Seaswimmer|emperor seaswimmer]], have adapted to become nearly fully aquatic.

Line 47:
==Size==
Most seaswimmers are around 50-170 centimeters (.5 to 1.7 meters) in length, but one species, the [[Tumor Seaswimmer|tumor seaswimmer]], has grown massive through shallows gigantism.
