The tumor seaswimmer split from its ancestor, the speartooth seaswimmer. Due to island giaganism it has grown much larger than its ancestor. Despite this large size it is rarely seen by it prey. Its skin now is both the color and texture of the tumorflora which dominates Scifi Polar Shallows. With its 3 sets of eyes closed all you can see are its teeth.
In order to save energy it will wait motionless for prey to pass by. It will sometimes put already caught prey on its horn to lure larger scavengers. Thus it has become like an underwater fisherman. Unlike most of its prey it cannot say underwater forever and must come up for air from time to time. However by hardly moving they can use little oxygen and last underwater for hours at a time. This type of lifestyle has made them solitary and only meet to mate or fight over prime ambush locations.
They no longer leave the shallows and give birth near the surface so their offspring can get their first breath of air. They can also sleep for short naps on the bottom. When they run out of air they will automatically come to surface. Even though they give birth to many small offspring, very few actually live to reach full size.
