Ancestor:Descendants:

This organism appeared from some groups of Marollons, when these had decided to leave the vents environment to venture in flatter waters, also searching protection against the attacks of the Snowky. Despite the Marollons digging its holes, part of them remained displayed and the Snowky was capable to capture it. With this migration its body became soft and long, sometimes arriving to five times the size of its ancestor, in virtue not to be more sensible to the vents environmental conditions.

There as well as its ancestor, it digs a hole in the sand, but remains there for all its life. In the beginning of its life it remains whole buried, feeding only of water microorganisms. During this phase, its shell becomes thicker and cover all its body and, after certain moment, untied of the animal's body, that remains in its interior. From this moment, the Trapinout is capable to capture larger preys, through its exclusive tactics of hunting.

Its name, trap-in-out, come of the fact of it to create a trap in the deep of the sea, where it hides itself. With its paddles, atrophied with passing of the time, it carries through wavy movements in order to attract the attention of the nearest animals, keeping always its head in the interior of the shell. When the prey starts to pursue the false worms, the paddles of the Trapinout begin to enter in the hole, being forced the animal to follow them, while that the Trapinout starts to leave its shell in the other extremity. Its tentacle-like structure had developed a type of immobilizing poison, that is launched on the victim at the moment of the attack. The food then is captured when next to the hole and brought for next to the shell, remaining there until be totally consumed.
