Description
For the first time in this project, i got an idea for a new creature in a dream and this is the result.A "crusher" and a "sea mole"
This was rushed up, I knew there is something strange about it, but I couldn't put my finger on it.
The hexagonal osteoderms are wrong here.
For the "correct" ones, go see this: [link]
The "AYUC" - "As Yet Unnamed Creature" and it's not-too-distant relative, the so called "sea mole," which, as the name suggests, is a burrowing creature which feeds on other burrowing creatures. the "knobs" on the oral arms work like mole's claws, they help spread the sediment apart so the animal can walk forward on its tube feet.
the "AYUC" has all tube feet changed into sensoric organs, while the sea mole has only the tube feet on its oral arms adapted like retractable sensoric organs. the other tube feet (this quick sketch isn't detailed enough) on the body have broad disc-like ends on which the animal walks.

Thank you! Yes, I changed it slightly in comparison with the previous version. the older drawing had the "tube feet" only on the top and bottom, but because the animal has hexaradial symetry, I though it should have more rows of the tube feet showing

but this great. There will be many different designs such as echinoderms creatures on our planet?

Thank you! I'm planning one more group of the "echinoderms" but they will be quite different from those two types.

Very good! I really like the concept in this one! You could also do a alien enchinoderm with outward facing claws on its oral arms and burries by pushing and digging the sand away, if you know what I mean. (So the opposite of digging like we do it.)

Thanks! I'm glad you like it! But hey! look at its oral arms! I think this "sea mole" soes pretty much what you described!

Ah now I see! Looks like we were thinking the same!
