Mad as a Marine Biologist

inhumanoid: Scotoplanes a.k.a. the Sea Pig. (x) The sea pigs “legs” are enlarged tube feet (a feature shared by many Echinoderms) and are the only instance of legged locomotion amongst the holothurians. They use water cavities within the skin (rather than within the leg itself) to inflate and deflate the appendages. This little piggy likes its food rich, organic and fresh. At below 1000m, the best one can hope for is a freshly fallen whale carcass. Better get there before the hagfish *shudders* do, with all their slime. That can ruin ones appetite.
