Ancestor:Descendants:

Polar seadragolden split from its ancestor, the seadragolden. It has migrated to the cold polar waters of the north. Its white fuzzy body helps keep it warm as well as sensing changes in the water. Like its ancestor, the hairs in its mouth play an important function by assisting in "smelling". They filter the water and pick up any scents in them. It will lurk near openings in the ice and wait for onyroslee or dawn scrapers to enter the waters. It will grab on to their head and the squeeze them with their body, constricting them. Some of the hairs on their backs are spiny and it will impale the prey.


While normally solitary predators they will meet once a year at a giant mating gathering. The reason for this is they have 3 sexes. They have a male who gives the sperm, a female who gives the egg and a 3rd sex who add no DNA of their own but is used to carry the fertilized egg to term. They will give live birth to 8 to 10 babies who can be around 1 m long. These are fully functional and will eat smaller prey such as the ice swarmer, until they are large enough to take down bigger prey. They do not raise young at all and will eat younger polar seadragoldens if there is no other food around.
