Pseudosukalensis tridentus is the first species of its genus, evolving from Sukalensis. This is a mostly predatory genus, but will eat seeds of P. forensus. It lives among Sukalensis, finding that prey comes to the Sukalensis in some cases. Instead of having the original mouthpart, this species has a trident-like mouthpart used for spearing and eating prey. It has small eyes, with somewhat poor eyesight. However, it can discern colors and shapes. This species lives with other Pseudosukalensis tridentus as well as Sukalensis, and the P. tridentus attack and eat prey together (typically in packs of 4-6). Come fall, they mate in their packs and eggs hatch within two weeks. Once young, they stay with their packs for 2-4 weeks and learn to hunt. After this, they go out in “traveling” groups which are formed with young P. tridentus from other groups. These groups ambush attack larger animals like V. spinacaliditas of Zone F, like their parents had done. As well as this, they steal small amounts of eggs and begin to eat seeds. The young of this species are typically merely 2-3 inches, the size of many Sukalensis, with the adults being 6-7 inches. They all attack the larger V. spinacaliditas in their groups since V. spinacaliditas is larger. Once they’ve caught their prey, they repeatedly stab them until they’ve stopped moving. In times of hunger, these groups head to the shore or small bodies of water and hunt. Individuals can live for up to four years. All groups smell different and there may be times of dispute between different groups, resulting in undefended Sukalensis sometimes. The front legs of this species are very mobile and disconnected from the other legs.
