Longasangnathus pygmalongus
Evolved from S. pygmeus their fin rays on their lobefins had fused into 4 different bone fingers while having their skin overlap the fin as well so it can be more easier to swim. They also developed lower jaws so they can rip chunks of meat out of larger prey. They moved to zone 7 due to predation. They also grew longer but their diameter is still the same.
Found in zone 7 they get up to 50cm long but only 4.5cm in diameter. They are seen solitary but can be found in groups chilling together in one cave as they are not territory when hiding in small caves and tolerate each other. They feed on dead carcasses, G. panterus, G. shorus, and S. neorhina. They are seen biting chunks of meat off their prey but would also scavenge to avoid fights from M. makoprima. They can be seen avoiding M. makoprima as the 2 species would both avoid each other due to risking of injuries.
When breeding groups of 60s-100s(due to potential predation on land and sea) will go to the shores and start climbing out using their large lobed fins and start spawning during autumn. Each female will lay up to 40-100 eggs (only 3-5 survive) in the substrate. The eggs are left at the shore in the sandy beaches submerged. The eggs can also resist going on dry land but incubate slower. Once the eggs hatched the babies dig themselves out of the sand in the 1000s and crawl to the sea. The babies are independent and can survive in groups but once they are subadult they become solitary.
