Description

This concept creature was designed to grab a reader's attention, as Evolutions! was once a hoax. Also, the creator had a story behind this one, as presented in his own words:
The shape of the mouth area is very unusual. I think, that comes because I made my creature getting used to dig in the sand for small insects, larvae and worms. With this mouth, it works a little bit like a fork, and it can pull that stiff lower lip through the sand.

I was right, the four strong fins became legs. The texture changed and starts to get plates (or whatever that's called in English) beginning at the legs. The light organ on the top of the head disappears quite a lot. Still, for mating my worm fish has to go back into water.

For now, I decide to use the nights for land excursions. I cannot go too far, because I dry out and/or there are some bad insects which bore into my skin and leave eggs there. Those kill my creature after some hours.
