Lunawing Sea Finworm

The lunawing sea finworm split from its ancestor adapting its diet to the new food sources available on the coast and to the new environment originated after the last disaster. The gamma ray event eliminated the deep palm, where its ancestor used to lay its eggs, forcing them to find another place to lay them.

It will prefer to eat the inferior leaves of the thorny bubbleweed and lay eggs under the upper ones. For this purpose, the back fins are longer and can move and curl its long extremities. The lunawing will stay upside down under the leaf and, with the back fins, hang and walk under the leaf, doing short steps and laying its eggs in clusters. When hatched, the offspring will be near to a secure place for hiding, doing short tours around the plant and going to surface to get air. It is able to eat tripgaes, budding microdendrons communities and other microorganisms floating on water, however the offspring are their main consumers. When swimming to surface to get air, the adult lunawings can also use their beaks to cut dimiboard roots, eating them.

The colors can blend it on the environment and help it to hide when near to surface. For those creatures looking from above or outside the water, the only visible parts will be the backside blue with wavy lines. Those looking under can confound it with the ray lights entering on the water. When resting the lunawing goes to the sea floor, flips its body and open the wings, letting exposed the pale part of the body.

Its body is more hydrodynamic. To swim fast, it will do fish-like movements and put its wings close to the body and joined over its back, moving them backward, and thus cutting the water like a blade. The wings are partially fused, improving the movement. When feeling threatened, they can swim really fast and go to surface, doing short glides over the water, opening the wings. The flight ability was lost, since their wings are thinker and heavier than before. Due to its great mobility and to the similarity of the West Glicker’s coasts, they can be found living in Huggs, Somarinoa and Yokto Coasts.
