The spotted hooked finworm split from its ancestor, the carnivorous sea finworm. They migrated into the open seas and shores of the brother continent in order to escape the competition and found lots of natural enemies and much larger predators. In order to adapt to this new environment they began to hunt in packs of many and prey on large sole predators; mostly the old and wounded ones.
For pack animals they are not quite intelligent and often individuals act as lure for their predators and that way attract the large marine creatures they also hunt. Sometimes after the pack kills their hunt they can be seen fighting each other fiercely for every piece of meat, sometimes to the point the while pack preys on either the weakest or the most selfish individuals evolutionary creating a pack with mutual trust where the fittest survive. They developed larger tail fins for quick turns and escapes from the mighty jaws of their prey.
The hook in the top of their heads in used to attach themselves to the prey that, with their use of mass and power as a pack, take him down to the sea floor. Their teeth are extremely sharp yet unstable and break down often only to be replaced almost monthly. They developed lots of eyes for contact with the pack as well as a great side one with fin lashes for primitive communication with each other.
