• Size: 8-11 cm (length)

• Food/sustenance: Zone 22 Taxonomum sp. seeds, mainly T. longiceedus’ and T. bubblensis.
  
• Predators: A. lutosquama and X. quadrambiguus.
  
• Description:
  

Adaptations: T. uncuscauda has evolved a hook at the end of its tail, which it uses to grab at the stem to reach the seeds on top, which allows it to regularly avoid competition with the other thalassiids of zone 22. The hook can also be used in defense when attacked by X. quadrambiguus, but it's defenseless against A. lutosquama. The green colours serve to make it blend with the T. longiceedus’ stem while it eats to not be attacked. The hook originated from the last vertebrae of the tail. It extended into that form, the skin covering the bone disapeared to expose the hook. The skin receded to expose the bone to allow the pointy end to penetrate the stem of the Taxonomum species for a better grip. For the bone to not have skin over it, a layer of keratin formed over it.
