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. |

==Anatomy== |
==Anatomy== |
||
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. |

==Breathing and Blood== |
||
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 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. |

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. |

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. |
