Extinct (May 26th, 2019): Competition with Thalassiosthalassas epipediceratos and predation from Xenoslontus quadrambiguus.

A direct descendent of Oslontus disrentius. Exclusive to zone 22, this species has one major change to its predecessor in that it gained a pair of appendages near the front half of its body. It also has a dietary change, only eating the seed pods of Taxonomum sp. Instead of the vegetative matter. Furthermore, it is no longer pure white like Oslontus disrentius, Instead being a slightly darker shade of grey with a defining tan stripe down its dorsal side. Additionally, this species has sacrificed reproductive capabilities, instead bearing only around 75-100 young instead of several hundred, in order to provide a layer of mucus around the eggs. It is believed that this mucus layer is to acclimate the young to any changes in water conditions in case water quality or salinity changes. It is also believed that the front appendages allow this species to walk outside of the water for a short period of time, as well as allowing it to eat the floating seed pods of Taxonomum longiceedus. It is still preyed upon by Cynopsis pyrrhosynopsm, however less frequently, as Oslontus disrentius are much easier targets for predation.
