Creature:Red-Eared Roufo

The Red-Eared Roufo, named for its red gills which look like ears, is a polar species which is capable of filter-feeding using its gills. Like other roufos, it mainly eats small prey which it can suck into its mouth. It notably lacks a raptorial arm, having absorbed it into its body during metamorphosis as it served no use.

Like other astergnathids, the Red-Eared Roufo gives birth to radially symmetric babies. With its filter-feeding ability, however, they are not nearly as dependant on scraps left by their moms as other roufos.
