Labeled Dactylspondylus on its enclosure by Dr. Lorelei, how shall I describe this miserable creature?
Etymology: dactyl – hand; spondylus – of the spine
It writhes. It fidgets. It picks at string. A long rope of vertebrae supported by spindly finger legs, not unlike a centipede. Except that in the case of the centipede, nature made her graceful, undulating and quick. The dactylspondylus is none of these things. Jerky, stiff and slow….I have yet to discover what it eats.
