The '''seep snark''' split from its ancestor the [[Scavenger Snark|scavenger snark]]. Since the snark's gills were more successful than parrotworm skin breathing they soon replaced them in other areas of the sea. This included replacing the [[Parrotworm Lurker|parrotworm lurker]] at the methane cold seep. They shrunk in size since there was less food at the seep. |

The snark had better adaptations such as color changing and an acute sense of smell in the gill-nostrils which helped them find food better than the parrotworm. Since they are cold-blooded they can last for months without food. However when a food source comes long it will gorge itself on it until there is nothing left. |
