Alien Species

Darwin IV's monopedaliens are mostly air-sifters. An exception is the Belly-thrower, a fierce predator that ejects its stomach from its oral sphincter and throws it over its prey like a net, then pulls it in slowly, digesting its unfortunate victim even as it struggles to get free.

Trivia

The Belly-thrower's method of feeding is similar to that of starfish.
