Flogeropod

Flogeropod, meaning fiery legs, are clade of polypods that evacuated from the gigantospsari, and went to shallower waters. Feeding on tiny planktons and other smaller creatures. As the thick layer of ice around the surface of Edalyth became thinner because of volcanic activity and the tidal forces, Flogeropod quickly became top predetor in the shallow seas.

Flogeropods were the first creature to develope proper eyes. Eyes were a huge benefit to them, although thick layer of ice meant almost no light at all, but they can easily track bioluminescence planktons and gnathospsaris.

Unlike their ancestors, polypods, these creature combined their front 4 legs in to giant feeding arms, and moved their gills towards their back, like lobsters and shrimps. Because of the lower density, they could easily move around and grow in size.
