A smaller, more agile species of anomalocaris hunts in dark reefs, caverns, swamps and coastal trenches. It uses bursts of light and swirling motion to confuse prey, grabbing them with hooked claws before delivering a powerful bite. While less physically imposing than its larger kin, its speed and reflexes make it deadly in tight waters.
