Littoralope

Littoralopes are a species of 11 foot long (~ 3.35 meters), numerous aliens that live throughout Darwin IV. During the Human-Yma expedition of 2358, Barlowe encounters a small herd taking shelter in the decaying skull of a Sea Strider, and noticed that their entire bodies glowed green in the darkness. He then witnesses the entire herd feed on the Amoebic Sea before leaving them.



Biology
One of the Littoralope's main traits are the deceptive tail that's shaped like its head. This is used to further confuse predators as it keeps the attacker(s) guessing which direction the Littoralope will escape to.
