Creature:Fantailed Xyspear

The Fantailed Xyspear is a Xerviform organism from the planet Sertarri. This species, along with all other known Xerviformes, is extinct. The Fantailed Xyspear has many traits and adaptations, such as an elongated mouth and sharp spears on the wrists, that point to it having had an ambush-predator lifestyle, particularly hunting for aquatic creatures. It most likely went from shore to shore, fishing for aquatic creatures. While they were mostly solitary, fossils have been found of them teaming up with other Xyspears so that each one didn't have to catch as much. They are mainly carnivorous, but remains of plants have been found in their digestive tract, most likely fruits or seeds. The Fantailed Xyspear is known for its extravagant fanned tail, which was found to be aerodynamic enough to aid in running, most likely to escape from predators. There are only two known preserved Xyspears, both of which are very prized artifacts. Both are located in Xervona natural history museums only a few parsecs away from each other.
