Aqualoot Anatomy
The Aqualoot as a species are a mite-like, insectoid species that thrive in devastated, polluted environments. No one knows how an Aqualoot colony finds its way onto a planet: they just seem to appear out of thin air. They are about 2 feet high, with a 5 foot legspan. They are evil and destructive by nature, but apparently do not show any interest in destroying other ecosystems; they are just happy to keep to themselves.

The infamous Aqualoot, however, DID have an interest in destroying things. This Aqualoot apparently bought an illegal machine that was designed to (manually) change a planet's Terrascore to 0. It used the machine to destroy the planet Jkkk in prehistoric times. As learned from this incident, Aqualoot are a sapient species, and quite capable of forming complex plans.

Aqualoot Diet
A theory about why Aqualoot prefer polluted environments is because of their diets. They normally consume rotting organic material, such as wood, meat, and fruit. The Aqualoot that destroyed Jkkk was probably an herbivore, eating a strict diet of rotting vegetables. It usually kept a portion of rotten seaweed in its chamber, as Aqualoot are strictly an oceanic species.

Aqualoot Mating
Very little is known about the mating habits of the Aqualoot. They normally have no interest in mating, only laying eggs when they reach an old age. The Aqualoot that destroyed Jkkk (henceforth reffered to as Aqualoot 1) refused to lay eggs or mate at all, for reasons that we will never understand. It is probably for the best, as his destructive genes were never passed on.
