Description Sequestered away in Aether's depths the squigglepus unfurls a ghostly net casting its trap with the use of its four arms, unique among squims its arms are actually what used to be its jaws. With its trap at the ready the squigglepus lies in wait, not for some grand beast as the squigglepus is a filter feeder, with time its deadly net begins to sparkle with marine snow, remains of nutrients fallen from photic zone above. Once satisfied the squigglepus reels in its catch combing through its net for a well deserved meal, its dorsal jaw and teeth have lengthened to better wrap around its biological trawl. Its net pruned of debris, the squigglepus tenderly repairs its net before starting the cycle anew.
