We
created Marclops using our scientific knowledge about what
underwater creatures would need to survive.
1. Marclops has one
huge eye in the center of its face, with an enormous pupil to help
it see in the dark of the underground sea.
2. There are 2
gills on either side of the eye for breathing, opening like an owl's
ears.
3. The mouth is
much like a vampire's teeth, because Marclops is an omnivore -
eating both plant and animal life for survival.
4. The funnel shape
at the top of the head is for sonar - like a bat's - to help locate
food.
5. The hanging
sphere is for a light source, like the angle fish in Finding Nemo.
6. Marclops has
webbed hands, and a torso like a merperson to help swim.
7. There are 8
tentacles on the sides of the body that are for grasping prey and
injecting paralyzing substances into prey.
8. Of course, the
scales covering its body are red, from the iron oxide on the planet. |
