The '''thrashing seaswimmer''' has split from the the [[Speartooth Seaswimmer|speartooth seaswimmer]]. Akin to other descendants of the speartooth seaswimmer, it is now fully aquatic, as it now rests one half of its brain at a time in the water, in addition to giving birth in the water. Stemming from this transition, it has now assumed an actively pelagic lifestyle, both in hunting fast-moving prey and in charging into shoals of small prey items in the sunlit zone up to 20
This species owes its name to a novel hunting strategy it employs. First, it looks out for groups or congregations of organisms like [[Diamond Pumpgill|diamond pumpgills]], [[krillpedes]] or [[miniswarmers]] with its large lateral eyes as it swims. Then, moving towards the targeted group, it charges into it, thrashing about, wielding a long, pointy tooth that stuns, shears or impales prey. The incapacitated prey is then suctioned into its mouth.
