The otter carboneater split from its ancestor and moved into the Otter Vents. It has adapted to the higher temperature and can be found all around the hydrothermal vents, though not in the plumes, where both the temperature and pressure would be lethal. It evolved cilia to help it move around and find its food, which it now mostly gets from the organic detritus that falls down from the higher levels of the ocean and dead matter from the Otter Vents itself.

Living Relatives (click to show/hide)

These are randomly selected, and organized from lowest to highest shared taxon. (This may correspond to similarity more than actual relation)

None found. Note that this does not necessarily mean it has no living relatives at all, but that, assuming all taxonomy is filled in, its entire phylum is extinct; any relatives it does have likely do not resemble it.
