The Triloraker split from the Gray Muckraker and migrated into Maineiac Temperate Coast as well as the twilight zone around maineiac. It is a small scavenger that scuttles around on the sea floor with its primitive, one-jointed legs. Each large segment has a pair of legs beneath them. Since they are incredibly slow, they defend themselves with a row of short spikes protruding from its main segments. It's black coloration helps it blend in with Maineiac's black sand. A mutation caused its jaws to duplicate, in which one pair evolved into tough chewing mandibles while the other pair became sensitive antennae, which are covered in thin hairs that detect vibrations in the water. It uses its sonar, bioelectric sense, and the antennae to constantly scan the waters around it for predators. Specimens living in Maineiac Temperate Coast oftentimes live near Snappermaw Waterworm burrows for protection, and feed on the scraps left over from the snappermaw's kills. Trilorakers will mate whenever they have the opportunity; as they are easy prey for small predators.
